Rediscovering the Ivinsons

Edward and Jane Ivinson, along with their daughter Maggie and her husband Galusha Grow, were one of the most influential families in Laramie, Wyoming. This new volume by Ivinson researcher Kim Viner expands upon earlier work by including additional information on Jane, Maggie and Galusha. While Jane’s childhood remains mostly a mystery, her impact on early Laramie is recounted in detail. The story of Maggie and Galsuha is told in print for the first time, including their residence in San Diego, California. Rediscovering the Ivinsons also broadens the examination of Ivinson’s wealth and his dedication to the well-being of his community in his later years through his numerous philanthropic works. Follow the Ivinson story from the West Indies, to England, and America as it leads the family to Laramie, Wyoming. Ultimately their impact would be measured over six decades and would help transform Laramie and Albany County into modern communities.
