Abstract The interviews with Jack Evans took place at his home in La Grande. At age 75, Jack showed his customary quickness of mind and physical vigor.

The first interviewer was Jerry Gildemeister, who was seeking information relevant to the Grande Ronde watershed. Tom Madden, a volunteer with the Union County, Oregon History Project, was the second interviewer. Jerry completed a one-hour interview in January, 1998, and Tom did one-hour interviews on February 12 and 29, March 18, and September 22, 2003.

Heather Pilling’s full transcription (available for research purposes) presents the literal contents of the interview.
