The True Story of the Baldwin-Felts Detective Agency

Written and Published by John Velke -
Chapter on "The Guns of Baldwin Felts"
by Richard Mann

The Story of One of the Nation's Finest Railroad and Private Detective Agencies

In a time when state and national police agencies had not yet been formed, William Gibboney Baldwin and Thomas Lee Felts created a firm of private detectives that became widely known and respected among law abiding citizens, and despised and feared by criminals and rabble rousers of all sorts. The hundreds of men in the Baldwin-Felts agency were thorough and fearless. Ready to go on a moment's notice, they responded instantly whenever a train was robbed, a coal mine strike erupted into violence, or a murderer fled the scene of a crime. More often than not, they conducted their investigation, got their man, and protected him from angry mobs until a jury delivered its verdict. This book tells the history of these men and the wild, wild East they lived and worked in. Unlike many of the iconic western heroes, the individuals and the stories in this book are all true.
