50th Anniversary of Inherit the Wind

In honor of the 50th anniversary of Inherit the Wind, the National Center for Science Education has posted, with permission, an excerpt of Ed Larson’s Pulitzer Prize-winning work, Summer for the Gods: The Scopes Trial and America’s Continuing Debate Over Science and Religion.

The excerpt is from chapter 7 of The Trial of the Century and it makes for some fun gripping reading. The link to the excerpt is here.
