This must have been his previous rank (either in U.S. service or Confederate service), as Evans was, at Bull Run, a colonel in command of a small brigade (which seems to have been composed of troops taken from Cocke's own brigade). But, again, colonel of what? So something is missing here regarding Evans' military career.
