He was born near Prague, Indian Territory (now in Oklahoma), and educated at Haskell Institute, in Lawrence, Kansas, and at Carlisle Indian School. His full name was James Francis Thorpe, but his original Native American name was Wa-tho-huck (“Bright Path”); his parents were of Sac (Sauk) and Fox ancestry. In 1907, his first year at Carlisle, young Thorpe displayed remarkable prowess in football and track and won the attention of Pop Warner , then Carlisle's coach of these sports. Thorpe performed brilliantly on the varsity football team, but in 1909 he withdrew from the school and went to North Carolina. There he worked as a farmhand and played semiprofessional baseball. Returning to Carlisle in 1911, Thorpe played halfback on the football team, contributing largely to Carlisle victories over some of the most powerful teams in the country. In 1911 and 1912 he made the All-American team. Thorpe excelled during this period in many other sports, including

He wrote that Thorpe had been a twin but that his brother Charlie died of pneumonia when Thorpe was 9. He also lost both of his parents when he was a teenager. Reporting for the New York Herald Tribune in 1953, Red Smith wrote that in the pentathlon, Jim had won the broad jump, the 200-meter hurdles, the discus throw, 1,500 meter run and was third in the javelin. In the decathlon he was first in the high hurdles, the shotput, the high jump and the 1,500. He had also been third in the 100 meters, the discus, the pole vault and the broad jump. He also placed fourth in the 400 meters and the javelin. He had come back from Stockholm with a reportedly $50,000 worth of trophies. A month after his return the Amateur Athletic Union filed charges of professionalism against him because he had played summer baseball with the Rocky Mount Club in the Eastern Carolina Leagues. Even though it had been for a small amount of money he had been stripped of his medals and his trophies sent back to Stockholm. His medals were returned posthumously on October 13, 1982.

Associated Press named Jim Thorpe the greatest athlete of the first half of the 20th century. He won gold medals in the pentathlon and decathlon in the 1912 Olympics in Sweden and played both professional football and professional baseball.

Jim’s father, Hiram, bred horses and hunted for deer, turkey, squirrel, quail, fish and pheasants. The family raised hogs, cattle and chickens and grew beans, corn, squash, pumpkins and melons. Jim Thorpe was born in Prague, Oklahoma 1889. His mother’s heritage included French, Potawami, and Kickapoo Indian, and his father’s heritage included Sac and Fox Indian, Dutch, Welsh and Irish. His mother called him Wa-Tho-Huck, meaning Bright Path, and his father, also a gifted athlete, taught Jim about physical fitness and good sportsmanship.

The two or more platoon system produces defensive players who don't know how to carry the ball or famous offensive players who don't know how to block or tackle. There's been only one all time , All-American football player and his name is Jim Thorpe." - Jim Wood, Rochester Jeffersons. "He blocked with his shoulder and it felt like he hit you with a 4 x 4."

    Extractions: JIM THORPE Athlete Jim Thorpe wowed the sporting world by winning gold medals in the pentathlon and the decathlon in the 1912 Olympics in Stockholm. Later that year, against opponents like the fabled Army football team, he scored 25 touchdowns for the Carlisle Indian School. Then Thorpe played six years of professional baseball as an outfielder for the New York Giants, the Cincinnati Reds and the Boston Braves. In 1916 his football team, the Canton Bulldogs, won their first of three unofficial national championships, and Thorpe served as the first president of what is now the National Football League. Of mixed European and Native American background, Thorpe was a popular hero; his life story was dramatized in the 1951 film Jim Thorpe, All-American , starring Burt Lancaster . Although he never got rich because of it, Thorpe is considered one of the greatest athletes of the 20th century. Extra credit : Thorpe's Olympic medals were taken back by the Olympic Committee in 1913, when it was discovered that he had played baseball for pay (at the time the Olympics allowed only amateur athletes). The decision was controversial, and the medals were returned to Thorpe's estate in 1983... The Pennsylvania town of Mauch Chunk renamed itself Jim Thorpe in 1954, and Thorpe's body lies in a mausoleum there.
