An American's Story is made up of the stories of James Ashmore's life in public service, to show people in a different way what a police officer's life really is, and because James wanted for these stories to be told before he is unable to, due to any physical problems. James believes once you read this book, you will understand why James is An American's man. Many people might think James retired too early. However, in the last year James worked, there were several death investigations that affected him in a way that was unusual. These deaths included a two-year-old boy and a man James knew, who had a little boy himself, who shot his face off with a shotgun, among other deaths that year. James knew that by retiring, he would not have to see these deaths up close and personal anymore. Over the years, James conducted more than one hundred death investigations of people aged six to ninety-nine!
