THORPE'S RESURFACED AUTOBIOGRAPHY
Jim Thorpe - In His Own Words
For decades, Jim Thorpe’s story has been told through record books, Olympic history and the stories of others. Now, his own voice is helping tell it.
News 9 visited the Oklahoma Sports Hall of Fame and Jim Thorpe Museum to speak with Thorpe’s granddaughter, Anita Thorpe, and museum curator Justin Lenhart about the discovery of his unpublished autobiography manuscript — a story 70 years in the making.
The remarkable find offers a rare, personal look at the man behind the legend and provides new insight into the life and legacy of one of the greatest athletes of all time.
