J. Frank Norris and the murder trial that captivated America
Summary
In the 1920s, J. Frank Norris was a national figure poised to become the leading fundamentalist in America. This changed, however, in a moment of violence one sweltering Saturday in July when he shot and killed an unarmed man in his church office. The Shooting Salvationist leads to a courtroom drama pitting some of the most powerful lawyers of the Jazz Age against each other with the life of a wildly popular, and equally loathed, religious leader hanging in the balance
