Rebellion By Allen Pinkerton -Book And Ad, 1883
Allen Pinkerton's book, The Spy Of The Rebellion; was published in the

election, the attempted assassination of Lincoln that Pinkerton prevented
and his involvement with the creation of the Secret Service as well
as his spying activity during the Civil War. Pictured above is a copy
of the book and the front of a four page 11 X 17 fold ad for the book
along with how to go about becoming a "sales agent" for the

expensive sometimes costing a week or more pay. The Spy Of The Rebellion
