ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

True Grit by Charles Portis tells the story of a determined fourteen-year-old girl, Mattie Ross, in post-Civil War Arkansas. After her father is shot and robbed by a hired hand named Tom Chaney, Mattie sets out to avenge his death. Fiercely independent, she hires a tough, one-eyed U.S. Marshal named Rooster Cogburn to track Chaney down in the dangerous Indian Territory. Their journey is fraught with peril and encounters with outlaws, including the notorious Lucky Ned Pepper. The narrative explores themes of justice, courage, and unwavering resolve as Mattie, despite her youth, insists on seeing her mission through.
