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

5.0

I do not care about football at all and I could not stop reading this book. It isn't just about this history of football, but also of the Native Americans who not only saved the game from being banned across the country with innovative ways of playing but made the game what it is today. It is also a history of the boarding schools Natives were forced to, and a look into the life of the greatest athlete who ever played the game: Jim Thorpe.
