Description

Not only did Native American Jim Thorpe excel at baseball and football, but he also won gold medals in the pentathlon and the decathlon – the only person in Olympic history to do so. This biography discusses Thorpe’s many family tragedies, why he was temporarily stripped of his gold medals, and much more.
