Joseph Bruchac
Focusing on Jim Thorpe's years at Carlisle, this book brings his early athletic career, and especially his college football days, to life, while also dispelling some myths about him and movingly depicting the Native American experience at the turn of the 20th century. This is a book for history buffs as well as sports fans: an illuminating and lively listen about a truly great American.

I listened to Joseph Bruchac’s telling of the story on the road with my kids during a family vacation to the town of Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania. I wanted them to understand how special Jim was, was to me, and was to others. I especially wanted them to understand the hardships endured by our ancestors, and how they did (and we can) persevere.
This telling of Jim Thorpe’s story is fantastic, Joseph Bruchac’s attention to detail, accuracy, and sourcing shines through. My kids (aged two to eighteen) all enjoyed the story (easily as much as me), and they asked us to resume it each chance we had after a pause.
In criticism, the volume on the narration isn’t fully consistent chapter to chapter. Some chapters are clearly louder than others, otherwise this audiobook is essentially perfect.
Please listen to this book and never forget what a human can do - even against the odds.
Well told and sourced; great listen for youth and adults

I didn't like how the story was read in the first person like Jim himself was telling the story. it came off as bragging and egotistical. it was not written by Him and that was very misleading.

What does Joseph Bruchac bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
I felt like Jim was telling me his story.Any additional comments?
Jim didn't write this but I hope it was a somewhat accurate account of his life. He deserves a no BS re-telling of is life. His life was not all happiness but the reader and story always took an up beat mood even in the down times in his life. It is a reminder of how tough life was for him and others of his time.I was always interested in what was next and wish I could have listened to this in one take.
Enjoyed this interesting tell of Jim's life.
