Praise for this book
"This collection includes some heretofore unpublished documents and analysis on Scopes.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."
