A. B. JORDAN - A SOUTHERN EDITOR'S VIEW OF EUROPE BETWEEN THE WARS - Compiled by David D. Jordan
Compiled and Annotated by David D. Jordan
At age 21, A. B. Jordan became the youngest editor and publisher in the United States. He bought the newspaper he worked for in 1898. Although he was not an age-wise contemporary of Nobel Laureate William Allen White, he wrote on world views during the same period as White - who wrote mostly about national events. A. B. Jordan decided that in order to find out the after effects of the Treaty of Versailles, he would make two long trips to Europe during 1923 and 1924 in order to see first hand and report to the world an unfiltered view of the economic, social and political conditions at the time. His grandson, David Jordan, compiled the articles that were published through a syndicate and published them into a book format. This is interesting reading for anyone with a bent toward journalism, history and even anthropology.

David Jordan was born in Dillon, South Carolina, in the town where his grandfather, A. B. Jordan, wielded great influence. However, David Jordan’s family moved to Charlotte, NC, shortly after his birth.
After one year at Duke University, David Jordan resigned his U.S. Navy R.O.T.C. scholarship and joined the U. S. Army. He spent three years of active duty in the Finance Corps which included a 13-month overseas tour of duty in Seoul, Korea where he served as Chief, Commercial Accounts Division, of the Eighth U.S. Army Command.
Upon discharge from the Army in 1961,he started his career in the printing business with his father. David moved to Asheville, NC in January of 1964 and was elected to the NC House of Representatives in 1966 at the age of 27. Upon his return to Charlotte, David was again elected to the NC House of Representatives, a feat, he was told by then Secretary of State Thad Eure, that had not been done by any other legislator in the history of North Carolina—moving from a non-contiguous district and subsequently being elected to the same office.
Furthering his education later in life, after obtaining a degree in political science with minors in business and psychology, David Jordan attended the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University in Cambridge, MA, concentrating his graduate studies in economics, finance and law
