Bryan and Darrow at Dayton: The Record and Documents of the Bible-Evolution Trial (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781425496517)

""Bryan and Darrow at Dayton: The Record and Documents of the Bible-Evolution Trial"" by Leslie H. Allen is a comprehensive documentation of the famous Scopes Monkey Trial that took place in Dayton, Tennessee in 1925. The trial was a landmark event in the history of the United States, as it pitted two of the most prominent lawyers of the time, William Jennings Bryan and Clarence Darrow, against each other in a debate over the teaching of evolution in public schools.The book provides an in-depth analysis of the trial, including the arguments made by both sides, the testimony of witnesses, and the final verdict. It also includes transcripts of the trial proceedings, as well as a selection of primary source documents, such as newspaper articles, letters, and speeches, that provide context and background information.Through its detailed examination of the trial, ""Bryan and Darrow at Dayton"" sheds light on the broader cultural and political debates of the time, including the tension between science and religion, the role of education in society, and the struggle for civil liberties. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of American law, science, and education, as well as the ongoing debates over the relationship between faith and reason in contemporary society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
