About this listen
As Dylan talked to Gwen, he told her how he felt that some of the more important stories of the first two generations needed to be passed on to the younger Evans.
She suggested that he should write them down so they wouldn't be forgotten, and he agreed. He knew that he would have to invent some of those stories because he wasn't there, but he knew the character of the men and women who had created much of the Evans family legend, and he was sure that they wouldn't mind his use of a bit of literary license. He only hoped that the youngsters would be able to read his hen scratching. Even when he was young, his penmanship was horrible, and now that he was an old man with arthritic fingers, it was close to an illegible scrawl. But it was important to him because they were. They were the Evans family.
Includes bonus story, They Call Me Peanut.

Story
The upcoming eclipse was anxiously awaited by Clay Jeffries as he prepared a private observatory on the plateau above his father's ranch near Rawlins in Wyoming territory. Then, he received a visitor with an unusual request. The stranger asked the ex-professor if he would tutor his frumpy but brilliant daughter in astronomy. Clay reluctantly agreed, but only if she proved to be an exceptional student. While the young girl surely proved to be both brilliant and frumpy, her arrival also brought with it many potentially deadly consequences that neither she nor her father realized.

Story
After the final battle of the Civil War, Confederate Sergeant Travis Kane rode his Yankee horse away from Palmito Ranch to return to his ranch in Uvalde County. As he began the two-hundred-and-fifty-mile ride across West Texas, Travis was grateful for surviving the long, bloody war without being wounded. But now that the fighting was over, his biggest concern was for his young wife because he hadn’t received a letter from Lillian in almost two years.

Story
Eighteen-year-old Garrett Shaw and his father spotted the rustlers and pulled their Winchesters. They kept their muzzles pointed away from the three men who were stealing eight steers from their small ranch to give them a chance to leave peaceably. When they started throwing lead, Garrett and his father began returning fire. Garrett hit one of the rustlers just as his father’s horse went down. Hours later, as the doctor examined his father’s injury, Garrett knew that it was now his responsibility to provide for his crippled father, mother, and sisters.

He’d been riding west for a few hours with his packhorse in tow when he noticed a set of wagon tracks heading northwest that appeared to be just a couple of days old. It raised his curiosity, and as the tracks were going in the direction he was headed anyway, he followed.

Private Jake Elliott was apprehensive as he walked to the commander’s office. He couldn’t think of a single transgression that would have attracted the major’s attention. When he left the command building 10 minutes later, he was still numbed by the short visit. Tomorrow, he would no longer be a cavalryman, but would be returning to the family ranch outside of Fort Benton in Montana Territory. But it was the reason he was being discharged before his enlistment expired that had been the biggest shock.

Dylan's memories
This is the last book in this series. This book is so emotional. You really need to read the first six to get the full understanding. I have never been so invested in a series as this one. This book goes back and shows you each of the main family members when and how they died. This was sad or it was to me. Each book was excellent. This has to be my favorite series I've ever listened to. I have all seven books and I'll listen to them over. This book brings closure to the Evans family. That generation anyway. I hope C.J. Petit continues with more books with the new generation of The Family. Jim meskimen does an excellent job narrating this series. If my review is any help will you please click on the helpful link below. Thank You.

Tearjerker
“Dylan’s Memories” is the last book in the Evans Family Saga. C. J. Petit ends the series with the ending of the lives of the original family members. The story is told by the son (Dylan) and daughter (Gwen) of Lynn Evans. The story opens in 1955 at the Double EE Ranch when Dylan and Gwen are in the final stages of their lives. Gwen suggests Dylan write down what he remembers of their parents and grandparents’ lives. Be prepared. This story is a tear jerker, but a great ending to a memorable series. I enjoyed the extra story tagged to the end of the book. A short story about the donkey, Peanut, who is featured in almost every book in the series. The story is told by Peanut, which is a different touch. This is a series that is worth rereading in a few years.
I read this as an audiobook downloaded from Audible. The book is six hours and eighteen minutes. Jim Meskimen does a good job narrating the series.

keeps you listening but what a horrible ending
They all die tragically pretty much. the author wrote them throughout the series like the hero of a western who can't be killed. This book destroyed that image I have of them. And I don't think it fit the characters he wrote.

Steep decline from a shallow precipice
A modern which equals soft and WEAK representation of what life throughout the 1800s in early 1900s truly was. Not recommended.
