[QUOTE="texan, post: 1014196, member: 38206"] [B]On this day, 25 August 1819, Allan Pinkerton was born. There were a lot of firsts in the life of Allan Pinkerton, born on this day in 1819 in Glasgow, Scotland. Allan created the first private detective agency in 1850; making him the first private eye. Abraham Lincoln hired him as the first Secret Service officer. He, in fact, foiled the first attempt on Abraham Lincoln’s life. Mr. Pinkerton hired others to help him in his detective agency.
