Daughter of Valley outlaws subject of ‘Train Robber’s Daughter’

At the tender age of 17, Eva Evans had already witnessed multiple gunfights, aided and abetted fugitives, and helped her outlaw father break out of jail. Evans was the daughter of Chris Evans, one half of the Californian bandit duo, Evans and Sontag. The outlaws conducted multiple train robberies in Tulare County from 1888 to 1892, hitting railroad towns such as Pixley, Goshen and Collis (now Kerman).
