Lafayette Curry Baker (October 13, 1826 July 3, 1868) was a United States investigator and spy, serving for the Union Army, during the American Civil War and under presidents Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson. Baker's exploits are mainly known through his book A History of the Secret Service which he published in 1867 after his fall from grace.
