Enjoy the train ride in the Spring or Fall.

It's too bad he never got to play in an established NFL. He would have dominated. Same may be true in Baseball, but John McGraw refused to play him, letting his talents rot on the bench

I am lucky enough to live 10 minutes away from Jim Thorpe PA (Weatherly PA). you are 100% correct, the town is an awesome place to visit and i am there quite often. Ive been to the mausoleum dozens of times. Very nice place to visit.
Everything i have ever heard, Thorpe was a hell of an all around athlete, i wish i owned something of his...card, postcard, etc..
