Summary
In rural Tennessee in the summer of 1925, the local kids know that their vacation will be like none before after a whirlwind of press, lawyers, scientists, and religious leaders comes to town to prosecute and defend their science teacher Mr. Scopes, who was arrested for presenting Darwin's theory of evolution to his students.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: The year is 1925, and the students of Dayton, Tennessee, are ready for a summer of fishing, swimming, some working, and drinking root beer floats at Robinsonâs Drugstore. But when their science teacher, J. T. Scopes, is arrested for having taught Darwinâs theory of evolution in class, it seems it wonât be just any ordinary summer in Dayton.
As Scopesâ trial proceeds, the small town is faced with astonishing, nationwide publicity: reporters, lawyers, scientists, religious leaders, and tourists. But amidst the circus-like atmosphere is a threatening sense of tensionânot only in the courtroom, but among even the strongest of friends. This compelling novel in poems chronicles a controversy with a profound impact on science and culture in Americaâand one that continues to this day.
