Description
1932 Jim Thorpe Signed "History Of The Olympics" Hardcover Book. Jim Thorpe's legacy is one of extraordinary athleticism, resilience, and cultural significance, making him one of the most celebrated athletes in history. A member of the Sac and Fox Nation, Thorpe broke barriers as a Native American sports icon in the early 20th century. His dominance at the 1912 Stockholm Olympics, where he won gold medals in the pentathlon and decathlon, showcased his unparalleled versatility, though these medals were controversially stripped (and later reinstated posthumously).Thorpe excelled in multiple sports, including professional baseball, football, and basketball, and was instrumental in popularizing professional football as a founding member of the NFL. Despite facing systemic racism and personal hardships, his achievements elevated the status of Indigenous athletes and inspired countless others. Thorpe's enduring impact as a pioneer and trailblazer is honored through numerous accolades, including his inclusion in the Pro Football Hall of Fame and recognition as one of the greatest athletes of all time.
Offered is an Olympic history book signed by the athletic icon. Toning on the pages. General age and use wear exhibited. Overall displays well. Pre-certified by PSA/DNA.
