Unstoppable: How Jim Thorpe and the Carlisle Indian School Football Team Defeated Army by Art Coulson
4.0
A good factual book, but for an athlete of this magnitude, surely the hairs on my arms should stand up somewhere in this book! But they did not. Nicely illustrated, but not spectacular.
From Wiki:
Jim Thorpe has been heralded as the greatest athlete ever, certainly the most accomplished of the first half of the 20th century. Thorpe won Olympic gold medals in the decathlon and the pentathlon in 1912. He simultaneously played professional baseball and football, interchanging his sport by the seasons.
