"Mississippi Outlaws and the Detectives" by Allan Pinkerton is a historical detective narrative likely written in the late 19th century. This book focuses on the perilous world of post-Civil War outlawry along the Mississippi River, detailing the efforts of the Pinkerton National Detective Agency to track down a notorious gang of robbers. The narrative reveals both the crimes committed by these outlaws and the intricate methods employed by the detectives to bring them to justice. At the start of the narrative, we're introduced to a daring express robbery orchestrated by a gang of criminals who exploit the lawlessness of the era. The opening details the circumstances surrounding the crime, including the ineffective systems in place that allowed such thefts to occur with increasing frequency. Allan Pinkerton describes the setting—the swamps and cane-brakes of the Mississippi region—and introduces the obstacles faced by his son, William A. Pinkerton, who is tasked with investigating the robbery. As William navigates through false leads and the treacherous terrain, he recounts the eccentric and often dangerous lives of those living in the area, foreshadowing the challenges the detective agency will encounter as they unravel this web of crime.
