Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - It was a big story in a small place. During the summer of 1925, the tiny hamlet of Dayton, Tennessee, became the setting for one of the most controversial trials in American history. In a move designed partly as a publicity scheme and partly as a means to test a newly enacted anti-evolution law, a young teacher named John Thomas Scopes agreed to be arrested for teaching Darwin's theory of natural selection in the public schools. The resulting courtroom showdown pitted Clarence Darrow, the brilliant trial lawyer and self-proclaimed agnostic, against Williams Jennings Bryan, three-time presidential candidate and fundamentalist Christian. For twelve days all eyes focused on Dayton as a spirited public debate unfolded.Published on the seventy-fifth anniversary of the Scopes trial, this book vividly recalls that famous episode through an array of fascinating archival photographs, many of them never before published. Images of the circus-like atmosphere that overtook Dayton during the trial alternate with candid photos of the key players. The accompanying text and captions summarize the events and clarify the underlying issues of the trial. While the legal consequences of the trial were minusculeit ended in Scopes's conviction, which was later overturned on a technicalityits symbolic importance was enormous, defining the science-religion debate in the twentieth century.In addition to revisiting the Scopes trial, the book also examines its continuing legacy in Tennessee history, politics, religion, and education. Although the 1925 law was finally repealed in 1967, state legislators have made subsequent efforts to challenge the teaching of evolution. "Like life itself," notes Edward Caudill in his introduction, "the controversy does not simply stop, but keeps evolving."The Contributors: Edward Caudill is associate dean for graduate studies and research in the College of Communications at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. He is the author of Darwinian Myths: The Uses and Misuses of a Theory.Edward J. Larson is Richard B. Russell Professor of History and professor of law at the University of Georgia. His book Summer for the Gods: The Scopes Trial and America's Continuing Debate over Science and Religion won the 1998 Pulitzer Prize for history.Jesse Fox Mayshark is senior editor of Metro Pulse, a weekly newspaper in Knoxville, Tennessee.

Trade paperback. Condition: Good. Paul Efird (Photographer) (illustrator). Second paperback printing [stated]. Format is approximately 8 inches by 8 inches. xi, [1], 259, [1] pages. Illustrations. Index of Subjects. Cover has some wear and soiling. No dust jacket present. Inscribed by the author on the half-title page. Inscription reads: For Evelyn Moyers--Hope you enjoy these stories of my people--Sam Venable 1/18/06. The Author is a fifth-generation southern Appalachian, Sam Venable is a newspaper columnist whose award-winning observations on daily life appear four times a week in the Knoxville News-Sentinel. A graduate of the University of Tennessee, Venable has spent most of his career roaming the highlands of his home state. The Photographer: Paul Efird is a native of Rome, Georgia. He holds a degree in biology from Shorter College but has spent his professional career as a news photographer. After working for two newspapers in Georgia, he moved to Tennessee in 1990 and became a staff photographer for the News-Sentinel. Hazel Pendley creates heirloom-quality quilts. Ed Ripley wraps bits of fur and feathers into trout flies the size of gnats. Edna Hartong still makes an item that has all but disappeared from the American scene: lye soap. All of these people, and many more like them, are Appalachians who work with their hands. Journalist Sam Venable and photographer Paul Efird spent four years combing the hills and hollows of Southern Appalachia to find these talented individuals and let them talk about their work. Mountain Hands is an intimate look at more than three dozen such craftspeople and their vocations. Venable and Efird encountered folks who pursue popular crafts, such as basketweaving and clockmaking. But they found practitioners of other tradesâ"wallpaper hangers and rail splitters, beekeepers and gravediggersâ"whose work also depends upon dexterity and upon expressing a distinctive Appalachian way of life. Some are college educated, some can barely read and write; some have lived in these hills all their lives, others have only recently come to call them home. Yet each feels bound to the region through a deep sense of belonging, and each owes at least part of his or her livelihood to handwork. While most of us may think of working with one's hands as entering computer data, these individuals attest to the perseveranceâ"and appealâ"of more traditional ways. Mountain Hands is a celebration in words and photographs of gifted people who understand and appreciate the Appalachian heritageâ"and who live it every day.

After a 4 year stint in the military, where McCarthy says he read voraciously for the first time, he re-enrolled at the University of TN in 1957, majoring in English and as it happens, publishing these two short stories in the student literary magazine, The Phoenix . In the inaugural issue of The Phoenix in the Fall of 1959, under the name C.J McCarthy Jr., a young Cormac would publish, Wake for Susan.

Printed form, 6½ x 8¼ inches. Previously folded. Some separation and staining along old folds, slightly affecting text. Slight chipping at edges. A good example. Untrimmed. Summons form for "the Territory South of Ohio," partially completed in manuscript, and docketed and signed on the blank verso, "Come to hand 30 October 1794. O. Williams." Printing began in Tennessee when George Roulstone established his press and began printing his newspaper in Knoxville in November 1791. The earliest dateable book was issued in 1794. The earliest datable form such as this, and thus the earliest datable Tennessee imprint, was in the Thomas W. Streeter collection, dated January, 1793. This is an interesting printed form from Roulstone's press, and one of the earliest possible Tennessee imprints to acquire.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - 'Nearly 150 years ago, a woman named Mary Faith Floyd wrote a story that spans Savannah, GA, New York, Blount County, TN-and the area of town in Clinton, TN, known as Eagle Bend. It was published in serial form in a newspaper, and then ?Lost. Until now. Mary Faith Floyd's writing style is lavish 'but very readable.' The writing brings to mind novels by Anthony Trollope and even Thomas Hardy in its description of the natural world and human interactions.' - Crystal Huskey, the Clinton Courier-News, May, 2019 It's not just any story, and she was not just any woman-and yes, her middle name was Defiance. Floyd, a twice-married woman, was writing in Milledgeville, GA and Knoxville, TN-using her maiden name-about equal pay for women in 1873, and about child abuse in 1885. Her daughter, Laura McAdoo Gagey became a noted Parisian solonierre who helped Anatole France write The Gods Will Have Blood, while her son, William Gibbs McAdoo, Jr. became U.S. Treasury Secretary and ran for president in 1920 and 1924. Her husband, William Gibbs McAdoo, was a professor at the University of Tennessee. Storyhaus Media's Douglas McDaniel searched for Floyd's lost novel for 14 years before finding it on microfilm at the University of Georgia Library in Athens in January, 2019. It was last published as a serial in the Savannah Morning News in 1883. A Woman Named Defiance is an anthology of some of Mary Faith Floyd's poetry, essays, short stories, and her second book, Eagle Bend, a fiction novel that celebrates the raw nobility of 19th century life in southern Appalachia, the culture and norms of Savannah society, and the hopes and aspirations of Floyd's protagonist, Minona Dearing, a young woman seeking to become a published author in Savannah, New York, and Boston just after the Reconstruction period.
