One Run Elmer, Jim Thorpe Buster Keaton 1935

Buster Keaton gave employment to at least one other Native American...his special effects man Fred Gabouri was, I believe, a Seneca.
According to his sister, the Keaton family was also part Native American. (Buster probably hired for talent, regardless of background).

My dad and friends met Thorpe in the late 30's outside a beer hall in central Oklahoma.
He was feeling no pain, but was courteous to his young fans. A great moment for my dad. He loved Thorpe.

Thorpe and Keaton's greatness will be appreciated a lot longer than ESPN.

Jim Thorpe gets my vote for the greatest athlete of all time.

ESPN has the gall to rank Jim No. 7 of all-time so there will be fewer videos of him as a result.

The Decathalon is the hardest thing to do; Jim was not only the best at that but the best football player of all-time. And could also play some baseball.

For all this he got Number 7.

Was that Dodger Stadium!

Jim Thorpe, first President of Pro-football

Great video, but are there any other videos of Thorpe in existence? Especially in athletic competitions.

Thank you so much for this! Jim Thorpe is the greatest!

So true. "Thanks, King!"
