Past Objects
What began as a childhood hobby searching for treasure evolved into a lifestyle for Jordan who routinely haunts building sites throughout the five boroughs in New York attempting to recover history before it is paved over forever.
“Between archaeology and history stand men like Scott Jordan”
As a self-trained historian and restorer of damaged objects, Jordan is not only privy to a unique take on early American history, but his adventures weave together a tremendous factual and speculative examination of the past. Past Objects features some of Jordans favorite objects and stories, sure to appeal to anyone intrigued by history, antiques and popular culture.
