The Pinkertons became the crux of what became the Secret Service. Their storied history is often looked these days.
Pinkerton Lawman by Michael Doyle A snake isn't hard to find In the what that's left behind When you flip over every rock And God knows how silver always talks A six gun preacher walks with intensity Into the midst of a tent city Boldly stating his stoic proclamation That he has come in duty for his nation A wanted war criminal will be hung Until his strong neck will be wrung Such was the ending nature of an uncivil war For those still standing who would fight some more With a trigger finger held ever lightly The bad man refused to go to death quietly And in so doing sealed his own fate Quick as a wink, he met the reaper on this date Never mess with a Pinkerton lawman For justice will be served as only he can Those too violently disposed too meeting their surprise Will just as suddenly and fatally meet their demise (c) May 23, 2020 Michael Doyle All Rights Reserved
