Reseña del libro "Dark and Tangled Threads of Crime: San Francisco's Famous Police Detective Isaiah w. Lees (en Inglés)"
He came to California with the great Gold Rush, but instead of riches, Isaiah W. Lees discovered his great talent for solving crimes and catching criminals. He captured stage robbers in Missouri, tracked con men to New York and caught the notorious eastern bank robber, Jimmy Hope in the middle of a San Francisco heist.San Francisco in the 1850s, was the gateway to the gold fields, a city filled with adventurers, outlaws, con men and desperadoes of every description. In 1853 Isaiah Lees was appointed the first Chief of Detectives on the new Police Force and during nearly fifty years he acquired an amazing record. An innovator of police methods, Lees easily eclipsed such legendary lawman as Bat Masterson and Wyatt Earp. When he retired as chief in 1900, the San Francisco Chronicle stated that ?in point of service, no one has ever equaled the record of Lees. He was the right man, in the right place, at the right time, and this is his exciting, true story, told here for the first time.
