Title: Strikers, Communists, Tramps and Detectives. By Allan Pinkerton. .
Description: New York, G.W. Carlton & Co. 1882. Hardcover. 412 p. incl. front. (port.) illus. 19 cm. Good condition, paper tanned Allan Pinkerton's Strikers, Communists, Tramps, and Detectives offers a direct window into the political and social tensions of the Gilded Age, reflecting the era's economic inequalities, the rise of labor movements, and the growing fears of socialism and radicalism. It provides historical insight into Pinkerton’s role in shaping public perceptions of labor unrest, and it sheds light on the use of private detective agencies to suppress and control social movements. As both a historical document and a piece of ideological literature, it is an essential text for understanding the intersection of law, labor, and politics in 19th-century America.
