A Sailor’s Log: Recollections of Forty Years of Naval Life is a memoir written by Robley Dunglison Evans, a retired United States Navy Rear Admiral. The book was originally published in 1901 and details Evans’ experiences and adventures during his forty-year career in the navy. The memoir is split into three parts: Evans’ early years in the navy, his experiences in the Spanish-American War, and his later years in the navy. In the first part, Evans discusses his time as a midshipman and his early experiences on various ships. He also shares anecdotes about his fellow sailors and the challenges they faced while at sea. The second part of the book focuses on Evans’ experiences during the Spanish-American War, including his role in the Battle of Santiago de Cuba. He describes the tactics used by the navy during the war and provides insight into the political climate of the time. In the final part of the book, Evans reflects on his later years in the navy, including his time as a commander and his interactions with other naval officers. He also discusses the changes that occurred in the navy during his career and provides his opinions on the future of naval warfare. Overall, A Sailor’s Log provides a fascinating glimpse into the life of a naval officer during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Evans’ writing is engaging and informative, and his stories offer a unique perspective on the history of the United States Navy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
