A Godly Hero: The Life of William Jennings Bryan
- Synopsis
-
In American populist Bryan (1860-1925), Kazin (history, Georgetown U. ) finds a hero and leader of the Christian left. Though remembered today mostly as the voice of fundamentalism in the 1925 Scopes trial about teaching evolution, he says Bryan was the most popular speaker of his time, and gained a huge following among both rural and urban Americans to whom he combined the righteousness of a pastor with the practical vision of a reform politician.
