This is a collection of 8 works by Clarence Darrow written between 1893 and 1917. Clarence Darrow was most noted in his time as an enormously successful defense attorney. Consider that he was the defense attorney at the Scopes Monkey Trial and at the "trial of the century", the Bobby Franks murder trial. He, like Robert G. Ingersoll, William Cowper Brann , William Jennings Bryan , Daniel Webster, etc. was also known as a world-class orator. These collected 8 works include speeches, essays, and public debates. The man had a silver tongue... sharpened to a rapier's edge!

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I suffer from stage fright. I'm not sure what drives it, but I know that I will give a three-count response before I risk making a fool of myself. There have been some beauties and some beasts, but the ugly ones are remembered the longest. #2 I had a very hard time with separation anxiety my first week in first grade. I had gone to a school where my mom taught and my sister attended, so I didn't have a firm grasp on what entering first grade entailed. I was alone with my dad, and I felt odd. #3 I was excited to learn that I had been chosen to perform in my class's talent show. I was nervous, but excited. I was going to murder. Then, suddenly, it was time for the talent show. I saw a fourth grader with a violin, dressed as KISS lead guitarist Ace Frehley. I felt my heart sink. #4 I had no act, my costume was ridiculous, and my makeup was suspect, but I was still excited to perform. I air-guitared my way through the song, and the students sang along with me.
