A Sailor's Log Recollections of Forty Years of Naval Life

Robley Dunglison Evans (1846 -1912) entered the US Navy in 1860 and served in the Civil War between 1863 and 1865. He was badly wounded during the ground assault on Fort Fisher and retired in 1866. But he decided to return to active duty, and despite his injuries, that troubled him for the rest of his life, he made an outstanding naval career and was even promoted to the rank of rear Admiral. In 1901, forty years after his entry to the naval forces, Evans published the story of his impressing life and his many operations for the US Navy.
Reprint of the original edition from 1901.
