In Wildness at Risk, the 88-year-old Evans takes a look back at some of the first observations about the types of nature he encountered as a boy in North Central Texas. He writes of some of his encounters with a wide variety of animals, from longhorns to owls, and presents factual material in a fictional framework that focuses on the relationship between man and animals, both domesticated and wild, and the hope that all can find a better way to co-exist.
