Jim Thorpe's Bright Path

by

Joseph Bruchac

Grades 3-6

Jim Thorpe`s Bright Path is a good biography of Jim Thorpe`s life. By the age of six Jim and his father had known more about the forest than

many other men. Also at the age of six Charlie and Jim had to go to an Indian boarding school. A sad sickness had come over the school and

Charlie passed away. As Jim grew older there were many changes in his life. The two sports that Jim was very good at were football and the high jump.
