This book is one of the first books written in the USA warning of the abuses of power by private Security forces. Charlie Siringo was a real old-west lawman who took a job to chase down rustlers and other low-lifes and ended up plotting to blow up labour organizers. Eventually he couldn't take that element of the task, the defence of unrestricted capitalism by violence, and retired to Hollywood where he found employment as a technical adviser to the William S. Hart Western movies. it is interesting to note that only after Siringo's death was the ground clear for the creation of the more mythic parts of the Wyatt Earp legend. I read the 1977 reprint.

Excerpt from Two Evil Isms: Pinkertonism and Anarchism Had he not been on the square, Pinkerton's National Detective Agency would have had him in the scrap heap long since, for they have been fighting him for the past thirty years in a persistent and underhanded manner. The ungrounded attacks made upon him by the Pinkerton's National Detective Agency, have had no effect upon a business which has grown to pro portions requiring the occupancy of the entire seventh floor of the Boyce Building and the employ ment of a large number of busy stenographers and a staff of competent superintendents and operatives, at the main office of Pinkerton Co., United States Detective Agency.
