Pacult, F. Paul. American Still Life: The Jim Beam Story and the Making of the World's #1 Bourbon. Foreword by Frederick Booker Noe III. Hoboken, NJ: John Wiley & Sons, 2003.
The narrative traces Jacob Beam's migration, marriage, land and distilling tradition while acknowledging gaps in birth, migration and early-business records. Its 1795 first-sale milestone is not supported by a surviving sales record presented in the book; a later land indenture supplies a different kind of documentary anchor.
