Allan Pinkerton's epitaph at Graceland Cemetery reads in part: "He was the founder in America of a noble profession. In the hour of the Nation's peril, he conducted Abraham Lincoln safely through the ranks of treason to the scene of his first inauguration as President. He sympathized with, protected and defended the slaves, and labored earnestly for their freedom. Hating wrong, and loving good, he was strong, brave, tender and true."
