Jim Thorpe, Original All-American Audiobook (Free)

Jim Thorpe was one of the greatest sportsmen who ever lived. He played professional football, Major Group b aseball, and received Olympic gold medals in track and field. He’ll permanently be remembered with the sports activities community and by his Local American community, who consider him a hero on par with Crazy Equine.

Born for the Sac and Fox Booking in 1887. Jim was sent as a boy to different Indian boarding institutions strict, cold locations that didn’t enable their students to hold on to their Local American traditions. Jim ran away from school often, until he discovered his phoning at Pennsylvania’s Carlisle College. There, coach Pop Warner, who’s as popular today as Thorpe himself, recognized Jim’s athletic excellence and welcomed him onto the football and track teams. Glory adopted, as did surprising disgrace. But through everything, Jim was a person to admire-an participating, spirited, and impressive young man.
