Sarah Palin has morphed into the classic WWII poster, often called Rosie the Riveter.
That original poster was created by J. Howard Miller for Westinghouse's War Production, in 1942, from a photo of Geraldine Boyle, a Michigan factory worker. Consequently, with government-commissioned works, the poster is in the public domain.
Rosie was also a 1943 Saturday Evening Post cover, painted by Norman Rockwell. The original sold for nearly $5 million in 2002. His Rosie is a little more classical in her proportions, and she's crushing a copy of Mein Kampf under her work boot, not the Idiot's Guide To The Constitution as in this Dan Nance parody!
Allan Pinkerton's story opens in Chicago on the eve of the American Civil War. After battling con men, train robbers, and vicious gunmen, Pinkerton senses that change is in the air. Already committed to the abolitionist cause and the Underground Railroad, he allies himself with John Brown's radical antislavery crusade. Upholding the law with one hand, he unapologetically breaks it with the other.
Kate Warne joins the Pinkerton Agency and quickly takes her place as Allan's closest confidante. He asks Kate to join him, and she embraces his cause in all its contradictions and extremes. Together they save the life of Abraham Lincoln on his inaugural journey to Washington, root out Confederate spies within the Union government, and establish the nation's first Secret Service.
