Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Secret Service in the Late War: Comprising the Author´s Introduction to the Leading Men at Washington, With the Origin and Organization of the Detective Police, and a Graphic History of His Rich Experiences, North and South, His Perilous Adventures, Hairbreadth Escapes and Valuable Serv In giving to the public this volume, it has been the design to present the operations of the Bureau of the National Detective Police during the war, so far as it is proper to make them known to the people. It is not a book of romantic adventures, but a narrative of facts in the secret history of the conflict, and mainly an exposure of the manifold and gigantic frauds and crimes of both the openly disloyal and the professed friends of the Republic. Many reports are introduced, some of which are lengthy, and portions of them are dry, because they are the official records of the work done, and the verification of the statements made, and the highest vindication of the character and importance of the secret service. Passages occur in them, the propriety of which many readers may question, but their omission would have weakened the strength of the reports, and softened down the enormity of the offenses charged upon certain individuals.
