This autobiography of James Bruce are true stories of my life written or told by me. The origins of the word mean literally a self-produced life story. My life experiences, the people I have met and the places I have visited are included in this book. I have included my ancestry based on my research thanks in part from my parent's memory of those facts and information that I was able to collect from the internet and family. Being an autobiography after an introduction of my folks it all starts with my birth and continues to present day recollections, all factual and true. Parts of this book included real stories that were inserted chronologically that I felt made this a fun and interesting read. I also included some historical and cultural events.
