History of the G-Men

History of the G-Men

The story of the G-Men begins in an era when America had no permanent federal detective force, relying instead on private agencies like the Pinkertons. Reformers pushed for an in-house corps, and in 1908 Attorney General Charles Bonaparte quietly created the Bureau of Investigation. Initially small and unarmed, its agents pursued cases like antitrust violations and land fraud, but World War I and the Red Scare expanded its reach. Scandals in the early 1920s brought in a young J. Edgar Hoover, who professionalized and modernized the Bureau. The rest, as they say, is history
