Requests:  0 Summary:  Jim Thorpe rose to world fame as a mythic talent who excelled at every sport. He won gold medals in the decathlon and pentathlon at the 1912 Stockholm Olympics, was an All-American football player at the Carlisle Indian School, in the first class of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and played major league baseball for the New York Giants. But despite his colossal skills, Thorpe's life was a struggle against the odds. As a member of the Sac and Fox Nation, he encountered duplicitous authorities who turned away from him when their reputations were at risk. At Carlisle, he dealt with the racist assimilationist philosophy Kill the Indian, Save the Man. His gold medals were unfairly rescinded because he had played minor league baseball. His later life was troubled by alcohol, broken marriages, and financial distress. But for all his travails, Thorpe did not succumb. The man survived, complications and all, and so did the myth.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hanapepe Public Library Adult Nonfiction 796.092 Thorpe Ma Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Biography B Thorpe Ma Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Art, Music & Recreation 796.092 Thorpe Ma Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Biography B Thorpe Ma Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Biography B Thorpe Ma Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult New Books 796.092 Thorpe Ma Damaged Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Adult Biography B Thorpe Ma Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Biography B Thorpe Ma Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Biography B Thorpe Ma Checked In Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Biography B Thorpe Ma Checked In Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
