Review - Heathen Days

Not as coherent as the earlier two books because the topics jumped around more. Some were interesting. My main interest was in the Scopes Trial chapters. I knew he was famous for backing Darrow and mocking Bryant, but his essays mostly covered his own actions during the trial and not the trial itself.
