Reaping the Whirlwind: an historical novel

Rosey invites you to use Reaping the Whirlwind for sheer entertainment, as a student's learning tool or as a gift. As we see in Kansas, Alabama, Oregon, and Idaho, the issues in Reaping the Whirlwind are still vital to those interested in:
For seventy-five years the truth about the case of Tennessee vs. John Thomas Scopes has been misunderstood.

  • Scopes did not teach evolution to his high school students.
  • Scopes did not know enough about evolution to defend it on the witness stand.
  • Scopes spent no time in jail.
  • Clarence Darrow was not the first choice for Scopes's defense attorney.
  • Creationist William Jennings Bryan knew much about evolution and was a member of the American Academy for the Advancement of Science.
Started by a newspaper ad from the ACLU, this court case rocked our nation. The winners were the losers, and the losers set a new course for U.S. public policy.

Read the scene in Reaping the Whirlwind where the idea for the trial was conceived.

"Rosey Dow has been painstaking in her research and meticulous in her attempts at historical accuaracy." -- Dr. Richard Cornelius, Scopes Trial Specialist, Bryan College

"Author Rosey Dow does three things in her book: tells a compelling mystery story, accurately depicts the events of the Scopes trial, and asks the question: 'What difference does it make what I believe?'" -- Ellen, North Carolina
