True Grit is the basis for two movies  the 1969 classic starring John Wayne and the Academy Award winning 2010 version starring Jeff Bridges and written and directed by the Coen brothers.  True Grit tells the story of Mattie Ross  who is just fourteen years of age when a coward going by the name of Tom Chaney shoots her father down in Fort Smith  Arkansas  and robs him of his life  his horse  and $150 in cash. Mattie leaves home to avenge her fathers blood. With the one-eyed Rooster Cogburn  the meanest available U.S. Marshal  by her side  Mattie pursues the homicide into Indian Territory. True Grit is eccentric  cool  straight  and unflinching  like Mattie herself. From a writer of true status  this is an American classic through and through.  This mass-market edition includes an afterword by award-winning Donna Tartt  author of The Little Friend and The Secret History.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67924470693941,"sku":"ByrdShop_1585673692","price":66.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781585673698.jpg?v=1794133742","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/true-grit-9781585673698","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
