About This Item
1872 US Secret Service 1ed LAW Enforcement Crime Conspiracy Detective Burnham
Secret service branches of law enforcement have always existed with some level of mystery to the public. This was even more true in the 19th-century when information about the members of the Secret Service was harder to come by. Author and service captain George Burnham wrote a memoir of members and detectives of the Secret Service offering details of their lives as well as reports of iconic cases and crime conspiracies during their tenures.
