Scholastic Canada Biography: Meet Tom Longboat 
Scholastic Canada Ltd | ISBN 9781443163910 Hardcover
32 Pages | Ages 6 to 10
Meet Tom Longboat, world-famous Onondaga runner
who broke both records and stereotypes.
On a cold and windy April day in 1907, Tom Longboat beat
a crowd of top runners to win the famous Boston Marathon.
His exhilarating, record-breaking performances earned
him legions of fans in Canada and around the world. But
there is more to his story than being a famous athlete. Tom
volunteered and bravely served in WWI. He was dedicated
to his family and community. Tom didn’t always win,
but he always worked hard with his head held high.
Tom did things the way he knew was right . . . and
achieved success on his own terms.
