    Allan Pinkerton and his agency after the end of the civil war in the United States

    Krystian Chołaszczyński

    Abstract

    Allan Pinkerton created the first detective agency in the United States. Work style and a powerful database have become the foundations of later organizations such as: the Federal Bureau of Investigation FBI and the Secret Service. However, in the era of
    today’s mass culture, Pinkerton’s agents appear as black characters, while some criminals – like Jesse James – have been called Wild West conquerors and heroes. Pinkerton can dream about such positive fame as Sherlock Holmes, who, as a fictional character,
    arouses positive emotions in modern people. This article was intended to present the image of the United States after the Civil War.

    Keywords:
