Jim Thorpe: All American Athlete, Olympian, Hero

In this new story time segment, I wanted to spend some time featuring athletes who inspire at every level of life. Great athletes, sure. But also those who lived great lives!

In this first episode I decided to feature the life and accomplishments of Jim Thorpe, a hero and man of good character too. This is a brief history of his life and accomplishments. There is so much more that I couldn't include. But sufficeth to say, the more I read about him, the more impressed I've become. I recommend all take some time to learn about Jim and his history.
