An Exciting Book -- A review by Pedro Cabrera, May 13, 2005
This review is from: Jim Thorpe: Legendary Athlete (Native American Biographies (Heinemann)) (Library Binding)
This biography about Jim Thorpe, a young man in the Olympic games who won several gold metals, but were taken away from him later on. He also was a professional baseball player, and football player. He was born in Oklahoma, and his parents died of a desise.
Jim Thorpe had exciting but painful life. His parents both died when he was young, he got married three times. But the good part was that he was a successful professional baseball and football player. His major goal was to recover his gold metals that were taken away from him.
Jim Thorpe was a man with many talents. He played baseball, football, and he competed in several different events in the Olympic games.
This is a very good book because it's a biography on an extraordinary man with many talents. And this book is a book full of facts.
