William Jennings Bryan was a towering figure in American politics and law at the turn of the 20th century. Born on March 19, 1860, in Salem, Illinois, Bryan’s career spanned law, politics, and public speaking, making him one of the most recognized figures of his time. He is perhaps best known for his three unsuccessful bids for the presidency in 1896, 1900, and 1908 as a Democrat and later as a Populist leader. His influence extended beyond electoral politics; he was a powerful orator, famously delivering the ‘Cross of Gold’ speech which advocated for bimetallism and became a symbol of the populist movement. Bryan’s legal career was also notable, especially his role in the Scopes Trial, where he argued against the teaching of evolution in schools. His life and career reflect the complex interplay of religion and politics in America’s history. This book chronicles his life and the numerous challenges he encountered. It is a compelling read.
