Summary:
A great American sport and Native American history come together in this true story of how Jim Thorpe and Pop

created the legendary Carlisle Indians football team.
Native American Jim Thorpe became a super athlete and Olympic gold medalist. Indomitable coach Pop

Called "the team that invented football," they took on the best opponents of their day, defeating much more privileged schools in a series of breathtakingly close calls, genius plays, and bone-crushing hard work. Sheinkin provides a true underdog sports story and an unflinching look at the U.
S
. government'
s
violent persecution of Native Americans and the school that was designed to erase Indian cultures.
