This book's author is Joseph Bruchac, and the illustrator is S.D. Nelson. Jim Thorpe had a twin brother, Charlie. Charlie was always rooting on Jim in school and Jim was always rooting him on in races. When Jim was six he had to go away to boarding school. He hated it so much he ran all the way home. His father wanted him to go back so he did. During that time his mom and brother died. Near the end of the year his father got hurt, but he was okay. Soon enough, because of all that happened, his dad let him come home. He went to college and played quarterback.
