Around Burlington: Jim Jordon found adventure, fulfillment on the Mississippi River
Bob Hansen
for The Hawk Eye
At times it must have seemed Burlington’s Jim Jordon was a living being spawned of the Mississippi River. No less that the wild birds that wandered its length or the lumbering fish that patrolled its depths, the river defined this accomplished sportsman.
City directories and employment records of the early 1900s might have listed Jim’s occupation as traveling salesman. But that was not the real Jim Jordon.
Those trips, as a representative of a Skinner-Lowden preserving company, and the business meetings were simply the price he paid to live the life he loved on the Mississippi. Trips to Europe, New York or some small out-of-the-way town were, to Jim, just a way of marking time until he could return to the river.
