AMERICAN MONKEYS​

world's first published reader's edition of 

The Scopes "Monkey Trial" transcripts

​

In honor and celebration of the 

100-year anniversary

July 1925-2025

​

Created by A.J. Schaar & workshopped by The New Fortune Theatre Co. in collaboration with experts in theology, science, civil rights, history, humanities, education, and of course, the literary and performing arts.

​

The goal of this book has been to present these events and arguments fairly, faithfully, and in a manner compelling to read, because:

The court transcripts, uncut, are very challenging; the legalese and nitpicks being debated for hours on end make them all but inaccessible to high-school students studying these subjects and are even tough for widely read scholars to get through without a determined effort.

AMERICAN MONKEYS has been edited together in such a way that now the transcripts are not just accessible, and enlightening, but downright entertaining!
