Historian to share
tale of Walter Gibson
Historian Boyd Bond visits the Lyman Museum at 7 p.m. Monday to discuss the life and times of Walter Murray Gibson, an adventurer who had a lurid past when he came to Hawaii in 1861.
Gibson arrived as a representative of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Using the church’s money to buy land, he signed his own name to deeds and was quickly excommunicated. In the process, he managed to acquire most of the island of Lanai. Gibson established newspapers in Honolulu that supported King Kalakaua over wealthy sugar barons. He eventually made his way through government to become prime minister of the kingdom in 1886.
The Lyman Museum, 276 Haili St. in Hilo, showcases the natural and cultural history of Hawaii. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Admission is $3; free to museum members. For more information, visit lymanmuseum.org.
