Darrow, Clarence, [1857-1938]. Scopes, John Thomas, [1900-1970], Defendant. Bryan, William J[ennings], [1860-1925]. The World's Most Famous Court Trial: Tennessee Evolution Case. A Word-For-Word Report of the Famous Court Test of the Tennessee Anti-Evolution Act, at Dayton, July 10 to 21, 1925, Including Speeches and Arguments of Attorneys, Testimony of Noted Scientists, and Bryan's Last Speech. Dayton, Tenn.: Bryan College, 1990. Second reprint edition. xxi, 339, 65 pp. Frontispiece. Original blue cloth with gilt stamped spine and front cover. Light shelfwear. Internally clean and bright. A very good copy. $25. * Complete transcript of the celebrated "monkey trial," the case of the State of Tennessee vs. John Thomas Scopes, a 24-year old high school teacher accused of violating a recently enacted state law that banned the teaching of Charles Darwin's theory of evolution. Perhaps the first modern media event, the trial attracted enormous national and international attention. A star-studded cast of trial attorneys included the great orator and three time Democratic presidential candidate William Jennings Bryan and the brilliant trial lawyer and champion of the downtrodden, Clarence Darrow, among others. The climax of the trial came on the seventh day when the defense put the senior Bryan on the stand as an expert on the Bible and he was ruthlessly interrogated by Darrow. As a milestone in the American struggle between modernity and the forces of Protestant fundamentalism, and a vivid manifestation of the clash between two valid principles, academic freedom and democratic control of the public schools, the Scopes case has tremendous historical significance. …
