Path Lit by Lightning: The Life of Jim Thorpe [Audiobook]

A riveting new biography of America’s greatest all-around athlete by the best-selling author. Jim Thorpe rose to world fame as a mythic talent who excelled at every sport. He won gold medals in the decathlon and pentathlon at the 1912 Stockholm Olympics, was an All-American football player at the Carlisle Indian School, the star of the first class of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and played major league baseball for John McGraw’s New York Giants. Even in a golden age of sports celebrities, he was one of a kind. Path Lit by Lightning is a great American story from a master biographer.
