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.

Bei den Römern war die Frage nach den Quellen des Nils - "caput Nili quaerere" - sprichwörtlich ein unmöglich zu bewältigendes Unterfangen. Ein Mann, der von der tatsächlichen Lösung des Problems umgetrieben wurde, war der schottische Adelige, Exzentriker und Privatgelehrte James Bruce. Vom Roten Meer bis nach Äthiopien, vorbei an den politischen Wirren und Kriegsgebieten Afrikas und den Herrschaftsbereichen raffgieriger Regenten führte Bruce seine Expedition am 4. November 1770 erfolgreich zu den Quellen des Blauen Nils. Heute sorgt die Diskussion um die "wahre" Erstentdeckung der Nilquellen in der Forschung für Uneinigkeit, denn bis ins 17. Jahrhundert hinein werden potentielle Vorläufer angegeben. Dennoch war James Bruce der Erste, der bei seinem Erkundungsvorhaben systematisch mit den Mitteln der modernen Wissenschaft vorging und so die Epoche der europäischen Erforschung Afrikas wesentlich mitbegründete.James Bruce (1730 - 1794) kam als Sohn wohlhabender schottischer Adeliger in Kinnaird zur Welt. Er versuchte sich zunächst in den Rechtswissenschaften und im Weinhandel. Nach einjähriger Ehe wurde er Witwer und reiste daraufhin durch Europa und betrieb autodidaktische Studien. Nach seiner Rückkehr aus Afrika sah er sich aufgrund der nicht geleisteten Erstentdeckung der Nilquellen zahlreichen Anfeindungen ausgesetzt und zog sich bis zu seinem Lebensende auf seine Güter zurück. Der Herausgeber: Dr. Herbert Gussenbauer (1940 - 2009) war freischaffender Ethnologe und Afrikanist in Wien. Studien- und Forschungsreisen führten ihn alljährlich durch den afrikanischen Kontinent. Er war Mitherausgeber des Österreichischen Rundfunks und beschäftigte sich jahrzehntelang mit ethnohistorischen Themenkreisen. In der Edition Erdmann ist von ihm außerdem Georg Schweinfurths Im Herzen von Afrika erschienen.
