The Legacy of Jim Thorpe

On May 22, 1888, Charlotte Thorpe gave birth to Jim Francisco Soap and his twin brother Charles with a reservation in India near Modern Prague, Oklahoma. His native American roots go back to the main black eagles of the Sark and Fox families. His indigenous people 's name is "Wa - tho - huk" which means "the way to the light". When he was a child, he experienced many difficulties and hardships. Nevertheless, he became the world's greatest player and played six sports and stars at the Olympic Games. Unfortunately, the Olympics did not succeed as he planned.

Jim Saupe is a native American of Sauk and Fox, became all round at the beginning of the 20th century, played baseball with football. The future President Dwight Eisenhower tried to solve the young soap when he injured in his knees. In his speech in 1961 Eisenhower remembered the soap: "There is a person who has been given great talent here and there, my memory returns to Jim Sorpe, he never practiced in his life. At the Olympic Games in 1912, the soap was able to achieve 100 yards of sprint in 10 seconds, 220 seconds in 21.8 seconds, 440 in 51.8 seconds, and 880 in 1, 57, 4: 35 miles, 120 - 15 seconds A difficult obstacle, and a low barrier within 24 seconds of 220 yards.

Jim Thorpe participated in the Summer Olympics in Stockholm in 1912 for 100 years, but we are still chasing him. The biggest one is always difficult to quantify at all times, but soap is especially so, ignoring the idealization of the Olympic Games, is a simple, evasive passerby. Thorpe's Champion Breakfast is not a serial bowl. After the dog's heel ran through the forest all night, squirrels and creamy gravy were fried. I will try to catch it. He is a gentle saxophon and a fox indian who lives on the border with Oklahoma State, became an orphan in teenage, became a ward of a public school, made the public's eyes feel uncomfortable. He was arrested famously when King Gustav V of Sweden won Thorpe's neck won two gold medals and won the Olympic Games Competition and Decathlon, he declared it to be the greatest athlete in the world . Thank you and I escaped a better social invitation to keep celebrating the hotel bar. "I do not want to be seen as curious," he said.
