True Grit by Charles Portis
Publisher: New York: Simon and Schuster 1968.; 215 p.
When fourteen year old Mattie Ross loses her father to a
drunkard, she sets out accompanied by a skilled if belligerent U.S. Marshal, to
settle the score with the murderer.

romanticized view of revenge, the other more modern film has a darker and
bleaker take on the subject.
