Kentucky Native Highlights Home State in Memoir

Author lived through the Great Depression, saw action in Germany, and worked as a newsman for Associated Press.


New York, NY – WEBWIRE

Journey From Beaver Creek is perhaps the most entertaining memoir written by a soldier, journalist, and Kentuckian.

Retired newsman Paul R. Jordan is just one of the very few journalists who would bother to write about growing up in the Appalachians. In his memoir “Journey From Beaver Creek,” he dedicated a few chapters to the subject. He not only narrated his own childhood and family life but also the prevailing culture of the day and the past natural glory of the Bluegrass State.
 
Anyone who would read “Journey From Beaver Creek” will find themselves travelling to the Kentucky of old, when coal mining was still the dominant industry, when the Democrats were still in power, when baseball was still America’s pastime – but more importantly, when life was still simple. Though Jordan went to serve in Germany and Korea, Kentucky stayed in his mind and provided him fodder for his memoir and other published works that followed.
 
“Journey From Beaver Creek” does not only detail the life of Jordan pre-World War II but also beyond, especially in the volatile 1960s. It is a memoir of a soldier, journalist, and son of Kentucky – an eyewitness to some of American history’s most trying times.
