A compelling and inspiring account of Native American student athletes. Between 1899 and 1917, the football team of Pennsylvania's Carlisle Indian School rose to national prominence, competing-and winning-against the country's most formidable programs: Harvard, Army, and Pennsylvania. Under Carlisle's legendary coach, Glenn "Pop" Warner, players such as Gus Welch, William Henry "Lone Star" Dietz, and most notably Jim Thorpe-perhaps the century's greatest athlete-became household names. Together with other athletes, including Hall of Fame baseball pitcher Charles Albert "Chief" Bender and distance runner Louis Tewanima, they helped change the country's attitudes toward Native Americans.
