Pueblo's Governors History James Bradley Orman, Governor of Colorado (1901-03) Alva Adams, Governor (1887-89, 1897-99 & 66 days in 1905)

James Bradley Orman, Governor of Colorado (1901-1903), was born November 4, 1849, in Muscatine, Iowa. His parents John and Sarah Josephine Bradley Orman were farmers. James Orman grew up on the family farm and was educated in the Iowa public school system. Upon his twentieth year, he and his brother, William, headed west to Denver in 1869. Alva Adams, three time democratic Governor of Colorado, was born in Iowa County, Wisconsin on May 14, 1850. While Adams had little in the way of a formal education while he was growing up, he had a voracious appetite for literature which made up for his lack of schooling. By the time Adams died, he had acquired a collection of over six thousand books, which was one of the largest private libraries in the region.
