Six Days or Forever?
: Tennessee v. John Thomas Scopes is a 1958 book on the Scopes Trial by Ray Ginger, first published in hardcover by Beacon Press and later reprinted in paperback by Oxford University Press.
 Ginger, later a Professor of History at Brandeis, Wayne State University, and the University of Calgary and at the time a New York trade book editor, had written about Eugene Debs and the city of Chicago in the time of John Peter Altgeld before tackling the Scopes trial.
 In the conclusion of "Six Days or Forever?"
 Ginger wrote his book had two purposes: First, getting "the facts straight" in order to correct "many mistakes in previous accounts of the episodes," believing his book "comes much closer than do those accounts to telling what actually occurred."
 Second, Ginger "tried to view the Scopes trial in the broadest possible context" (242).
William Kinsey "Bill" Hutchinson (June 27, 1896 – May 25, 1958) was an American reporter who became a friend of presidents, legislators, cabinet members, and other U.S. government diplomats and officials.
 Between 1913 and 1920 William (Bill) worked as a reporter for a Reading, Pennsylvania newspaper.
 He moved to Washington, D.C. in 1920 and started work for William Randolph Hearst's International News Service (INS).
 As an INS reporter, he covered the John T. Scopes trial, also known as the Scopes Trial, in Dayton, Tennessee and on July 24, 1925 he was the first reporter to file the dispatch stating the outcome.
 A conversation that occurred during the last days of the trial, Scopes said:
John Thomas Scopes (August 3, 1900 – October 21, 1970) was a teacher in Dayton, Tennessee, who was charged on May 5, 1925, with violating Tennessee's Butler Act, which prohibited the teaching of evolution in Tennessee schools.
 He was tried in a case known as the Scopes Trial, in which he was found guilty and fined $100.
A Civic Biology: Presented in Problems (usually referred to as just Civic Biology) was a biology textbook written by George William Hunter, published in 1914.
 It is the book which the state of Tennessee required high school teachers to use in 1925 and is best known for its section about evolution that was ruled by a local court to be in violation of the state Butler Act.
 It was for teaching from this textbook that John T. Scopes was brought to trial in Dayton, Tennessee in the Scopes "Monkey" Trial.
 The views espoused in the book about evolution, race, and eugenics were common to American Progressives (especially in the work of Charles Benedict Davenport, one of the most prominent American biologists of the early 20th century, whom Hunter cites in the book).
The Scopes Trial, formally known as The State of Tennessee v. John Thomas Scopes and commonly referred to as the Scopes Monkey Trial, was an American legal case in July 1925 in which a substitute high school teacher, John T. Scopes, was accused of violating Tennessee's Butler Act, which had made it unlawful to teach human evolution in any state-funded school.
 The trial was deliberately staged in order to attract publicity to the small town of Dayton, Tennessee, where it was held.
 Scopes was unsure whether he had ever actually taught some evolution, but he purposely incriminated himself so that the case could have a defendant.
The Great Monkey Trial is a book on the Scopes Trial by L. Sprague de Camp, first published in hardcover by Doubleday in 1968.
 The book is a non-fiction account of the trial, as well as its social and political context and impact.
 This history of the trial was based on the archives of the A.C.L.U., assorted newspaper files, correspondence and interviews with over a dozen of those present at the trial, books and magazine articles written on trial (including the memoirs of John T. Scopes and the official record of the trial in the Rhea County Courthouse), and a couple of visits to Dayton.
 The book also contains several political cartoons published at the time of the trial.
 Several critics have referred to the book as the definitive or comprehensive account of the Scopes Trial.
Monkey Town: The Summer of the Scopes Trial is a 2006 novel written by American author Ronald Kidd.
 The story is set in summer 1925 in Dayton, Tennessee, and is based on the Scopes Trial.
John Washington Butler (December 17, 1875 – September 24, 1952) was an American farmer and a member of the Tennessee House of Representatives from 1923-1927.
 He is most noted for introducing the Butler Act, which prohibited teaching of evolution in public (i.e. state) schools (and which was challenged in the Scopes Trial).
 He was an admirer of William Jennings Bryan.
The Rhea County Courthouse is a historic county courthouse in the center of Dayton, the county seat of Rhea County, Tennessee.
 Built in 1891, it is famous as the scene of the Scopes Trial of July 1925, in which teacher John T. Scopes faced charges for including Charles Darwin's theory of evolution in his public school lesson.
 The trial became a clash of titans between the lawyers William Jennings Bryan for the prosecution and Clarence Darrow for the defense, and epitomizes the tension between fundamentalism and modernism in a wide range of aspects of American society.
 The courthouse, now also housing a museum devoted to the trial, was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1976.
George Washington Rappleyea (July 4, 1894 – August 29, 1966), an American metallurgical engineer and the manager of the Cumberland Coal and Iron Company in Dayton, Tennessee.
 He held this position in the summer of 1925 when he became the chief architect of the Scopes Trial.
 During a meeting at Robinson's Drug Store it was Rappleyea who convinced a group of Dayton businessmen to sponsor a test case of the Butler Act, which prohibited the teaching of evolution in the state's schools.
 Rappleyea is held responsible for convincing John T. Scopes to be the defendant in the famous "Monkey" Trial.
 (Note: The name is often spelled "Rappalyea" but the spelling "Rappleyea" is what appears in L. Sprague de Camp's book "The Great Monkey Trial" and the author interviewed Rappleyea before his death.)
