"The Scopes Monkey Trial"
The trial of
John T. Scopes in Dayton, TN in 1925 pitted evolution against fundamentalism and
Biblical literalism. The trial was famous both in its own time and in folk
lore ever since. (A 1960 movie loosely based on the trial won an Academy
Award for its star, Spencer Tracy.) Key documents (and a few pictures)
from that trial are provided below.
