Where was Thorpe’s athletic talent discovered? [br]
Jim Thorpe was an American Indian, born on May .28, 1888 in Oklahoma.

From then on, Thorpe participated in almost every aspect of athletics. Whenever he competed in any event, he easily won first place.
In the years that followed, he took part in football games against such renowned teams as Harvard and West Point. Thorpe again and again brought his team to victory.

There he excelled in several track events and was presented with first place gold medals; He was the first athlete to capture first place a wards in so many track events.
When Thorpe returned home from the Olympic Games, he was welcomed with parades and celebration. The president called him the highest type of citizen. However, this was all short-lived because it was found out that at one time Thorpe had been a professional athlete.
