While most athletes excel in just one sport, Jim Thorpe was
different. Born in Oklahoma in 1887, he played both professional
football and baseball, and ran track and field. Jim was not only a
sports icon but also a trailblazer. Raised as part of the Sac and
Fox tribal nation, he was the first Native American person to win
an Olympic gold medal for the United States. And although his
personal life was not always as successful as his career, Jim
remains one of the greatest athletes in American history.
