1901. Illustrated. During the course of a colorful naval career
Evans rose to the rank of Rear Admiral and had two destroyers named
after him. One example of Evan's character can be found in the
following anecdote: Because of his serious wounds, as he lay
helpless in the hospital, he was approached by a surgeon who
suggested amputation. Evans pulled out a pistol from under his
pillow and said he would shoot at the first sign of a surgeon's
saw. The surgeon concluded that Evans would die, and did not press
for amputation. Obviously, the young ensign survived.
