Abraham Lincoln and Allan
Pinkerton
There is perhaps no name more synonymous
with security than that of Allan Pinkerton. Pinkerton was an important
ally of Abraham Lincoln, and actually played an important role in
thwarting an
assassination plot in 1861. Allan Pinkerton is pictured to the left
in the image above. This photograph was taken on the Battlefield of
Antietam shortly after the completion of the battle.
