Biographical History

Jim Thorpe, also known as James Francis Thorpe (b. May 22 or 28, 1887, Prague Indian Territory, Oklahoma-d. March 28, 1953, Lomita, California) was an American athlete and Olympic gold medalist. A member of the Sac and Fox Nation, Thorpe became the first Native American to win a gold medal for his home country.
