About this title

Synopsis

As the Scopes �Monkey� Trial came to an end in July 1925, William Jennings Bryan expected to deliver the prosecution�s closing argument. Procedural tactics by the defence prevented this. The trial ended without the long-awaited climatic moment in front of the world�s media. Five days later, unexpectedly, Bryan died. In their bereavement, supporters focused on Bryan�s unspoken words as their last chance to connect with the Great Commoner. A local newspaper editor gave Bryan�s text a quick polish, then saw to its speedy publication. This volume reprints that 1925 material in its entirety, together with a brief historical introduction.
