Jim Thorpe: The Greatest Athlete of All Time
Jim Thorpe is renowned as one of the greatest athletes in history, largely due to his extraordinary versatility. Unlike many sports figures who excel in a single discipline, Thorpe dominated in multiple arenas, including track and field, basketball, football, and even baseball. His remarkable life began on May 22, 1887, in the Sac and Fox Indian Territory near Prague, Oklahoma, where he was given the native name Woh Huck, meaning "Bright Path."
