Bryan And Darrow At Dayton: The Record And Documents Of The Bible-Evolution Trial (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162931432)

Bryan and Darrow at Dayton: The Record and Documents of the Bible-Evolution Trial is a book written by Leslie H. Allen. The book is a comprehensive record of the famous Scopes Monkey Trial that took place in Dayton, Tennessee in 1925. The trial was a landmark case that pitted science against religion, as a young teacher named John Scopes was accused of teaching evolution in a public school, which was against the law in Tennessee at the time. The trial drew national attention and was covered extensively by the media. The book includes transcripts of the trial, as well as other documents such as newspaper articles, letters, and speeches. The two main figures in the trial were the lawyers William Jennings Bryan, who represented the prosecution, and Clarence Darrow, who represented the defense. The book provides a detailed account of their arguments and cross-examinations, as well as the testimony of other witnesses. In addition to the legal proceedings, the book also explores the cultural and political context of the trial, including the rise of fundamentalism and the debate over the role of religion in public life. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of science and religion in America, as well as the history of American law and politics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
