Is Jenkins a Shameless Liar?
“Iva’s parents died when she was quite young, a fact that made forbidding their daughter to marry Jim Thorpe over a decade later quite difficult… [Jenkins] provided no reference for this statement.”

What Do We Actually Know?
History is all in the perception of facts; whether the story line is true depends partially on the background information or dare we say the living history aka family, monuments, plethora of written material that are primary/secondary sources, and therefore may be otherwise considered to be shank fabrications, lies, random gossip, engorged looney obsessions – you name it, you said it. Watch out!
