(Hawk Jim x Gorgeous) foaled 1944, photo taken 1951
This horse has a little different look from the ones posted below. He was retained by Evans and sired many for the Devan prefix. His sire had different lines from Evan's other horses. Hawk Jim was bred in Kansas, by Elmer Brown and his sire was Linsley. Linsley was by General Gates, while all Evan's other foundation Morgans got General Gates on the sire line thru his son Bennington. Linsley's dam was a western mare who ended up in Vermont and was by Headlight Morgan. Hawk Jim's dam was also bred by Elmer Brown and was of mostly the Old Midwest Family, being by Sparhawk and out of a Dude Hudson daughter.
In my opinion, Hawk Jim brought more elegance and correctness to Evan's program.
