The Scopes Monkey Trial Transcript Summary
|
This e-book is a word-for-word transcript of the Scopes “Monkey Trial,” widely regarded as the
greatest American trial of the Twentieth Century. The issues (evolution versus creation in the
public schools), the politics (individual liberty versus populist democracy), the actors (William
Jennings Bryan, Clarence Darrow, and H.L. Mencken, among others), and the setting (a small,
struggling town in southeastern Tennessee with the ingenuity and confidence to host such a
national event), all culminated in twelve remarkable days in the sweltering summer of
1925. Shortly after the trial, the National Book Company published The World’s Greatest Court Trial© (Cincinnati, Ohio, 1925, copywrite expired). This electronic version of the Scopes trial transcript is a faithful replication of that volume including the original pagination (with page numbers in brackets), the written testimony of experts who did not testify at the trial but who submitted the statements included herein, and the final speech to the jury by William Jennings Bryan which was never actually delivered but which was published separately after the trial. In the following pages are some of the most memorable speeches, twists, and turns ever witnessed in American jurisprudential history. We hope you enjoy the transcript! About the Author: Frederick C. Foote is a graduate of Harvard Law School. He is currently working on a screenplay of the Scopes Trial. Information relating to the screenplay can be seen a www.themonkeytrial.com. |
