YOUNG, ROSAMOND McPHERSON The spy with two hats.
New York David Mckay Co. , 1966 First Edition Hard Cover Very Good in Good dust jacket
210 pages, cloth, dj, very good. From the dj: Tim Webster, like Allan Pinkerton for whom he worked, had a deep sense of obligation to the country of his adoption. Law and order had been their job for a long time, and, when Lincoln was threatened with assassination, when a year to gain equal justice for all began, Pinkerton organized a Secret Service - and Tim Webster went South, and South again. It was a dangerous game to play, alone among the enemy on whom he must rely, a difficult duty, but Tim Webster managed so well for the Union, that the Southern leaders used him also. He became a spy with a Northern derby and a Southern secesh hat. Engaged in hazardous maneuvers by day and night, calling for especial control and bravery, he remained one of Pinkerton's best operators, one of the country's trusted couriers, until treachery when trapped by illness. Then, and through all the dark hours of his trial, one fine young woman stood by him. This is the true story of Tim Webster, a quiet, reserved man, who even made himself over for the cause to which he gave everything.
