	Dayton, Tennessee - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dayton is a city in Rhea County, Tennessee, United States.
		In the year 1925, the famous Scopes Monkey Trial came to Dayton (some say the trial was arranged by the town's leaders as a publicity stunt), and for a period of time, filled the town with hucksters of every description and journalists from around the world.
		Although this trial is often represented as being pivotal in the movement to allow evolution to be taught in US schools, it actually marked the beginning of a major decline in the teaching of evolution which didn't start to recover until the early 1960s.

	John T. Scopes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		John Thomas Scopes (August 3, 1900 – October 21, 1970), a teacher in Dayton, Tennessee at the age of 24, was charged on May 25, 1925 with violating Tennessee's Butler Act, which prohibited the teaching of evolution in Tennessee schools.
		A group of businessmen in Dayton, Tennessee, led by mine manager George Rappleyea, saw this as an opportunity to get publicity for their town and approached Scopes.
		The case was appealed to the Tennessee Supreme Court which found the Butler Act constitutional, but overturned Scopes conviction on a technicality; the judge had set the fine instead of the jury.

	American Experience \| Monkey Trial \| People & Events
		The Dayton Coal and Iron Company employed hundreds of people, and by the turn of the century the town was fueled by both industry and agriculture.
		This fictionalized account of the trial portrayed the town of Dayton as a hotbed of religious fanatics so threatened by evolution that they arrested one of their own teachers, put him in jail, and threw rocks at his window while he waited to go on trial.
		Dayton was especially proud of the fundamentalist college in the hills above town -- named for prosecutor William Jennings Bryan, who died just five days after the Scopes trial ended.

		Then there was, for about two hot weeks in July, the Dayton whose streets were transformed into a fair of lemonade and hotdog stands, banners and monkey pennants, caged apes, hawkers of religious tracts and biology texts, Holy Rollers and evangelists, and hundreds of members of the press.
		Dayton was a town of beautiful homes, two banks, a hosiery mill, a canning factory, and a blast furnace of the Cumberland Coal and Iron Company.
		Dayton was, however, very much a Christian community, as attested to by its nine churches.

		The eastern Tennessee countryside is really scenic with lots of green, rolling hills and small truck farms (where they grow small trucks, what else?).
		Like I say, this being my first trip to eastern Tennessee, I was half-expecting to see hillbillies sitting on their front porches playing the banjo and sipping moonshine, but actually this area is fairly modern -- although it is pretty poor.
