The Molly Maguires: And The Detectives is a non-fiction book written by Allan Pinkerton in 1887. The book provides a detailed account of the infamous Molly Maguires, a secret society of Irish immigrants who operated in the coal mines of Pennsylvania during the late 19th century. The Molly Maguires were known for their violent tactics and resistance against the oppressive working conditions imposed by the mining companies. Pinkerton, a renowned detective, was hired by the mining companies to infiltrate the Molly Maguires and bring them to justice. The book chronicles Pinkerton’s investigation, including his use of undercover agents and his eventual success in bringing down the Molly Maguires. The book is considered a classic in the true crime genre and provides a fascinating insight into the history of labor relations and immigration in the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
