Undefeated: Jim Thorpe and the Carlisle Indian School Football Team by Steve Sheinkin

5.0

---

This was a great short read touching not only on Jim Thorpe and Carlisle but also American/Native history and the history of football. I knew Pop Warner had a huge impact on what we see as modern American football but much more is owed to the Carlisle team and the young Indigenous men that made the plays. Props to the author for not pulling punches on social commentary surrounding what our forefathers did to those who lived here before us.
