The Scopes Trial: A Brief History With Documents - Hardcover
The moral decline of youth; the growing cleavages opened up by race, region, and urbanization; the struggle between majoritarianism and rights-based libertarianism; and the clash between older religious attitudes and modern secularism are among the cultural conflicts Moran (U. of Kansas) finds to have informed the now famous trial of a Tennessee high school teacher for teaching human evolution in July 1925.

About the Author:
Jeffrey P. Moran has taught at Harvard and Brown, and currently operates out of the history department at the University of Kansas.
Review:
"This collection includes some heretofore unpublished documents and analysis on Scopes. Jeffrey Moran's use of newspapers brings out several points that I've never seen in print before, particularly regarding the role of women and African Americans. His introduction is outstanding and is a superb model of its genre: comprehensive, well organized, and--best of all--written in clear, declarative, jargon-free English. It will become the standard short interpretation of Scopes and antievolution."
