True Grit

For me, this read like a true, historical account by Mattie Ross about the hunt for the man who killed her father. Truly, it was great to read about an awesome character who has a great head on her shoulders. Mattie sure knew how to take care of business, including finding a man with “grit” to help her hunt Chaney down. And are there any characters in literature (or anywhere) with as much grit as Rooster Cogburn? Great American read.
