True Grit
Charles Portis
Young Mattie Ross is out for revenge. Tom Chaney shot and killed her father and stole his horse, his money, and two California gold pieces. She sets out to look for the U.S marshal Rooster Cogburn a man who they say has true grit. Together with the help of a Texas ranger named LaBoef they go after Tom Chaney. They finally catch up to Chaney but killing him is not as easy as Mattie would have imagined.
A very good classic western story, complete with cowboys vigilantes, gunfights, and good old fashion American justice. My favorite part was when Rooster, LaBoef, and Mattie get into a gun fight with a bunch of vigilantes. I recommend this book to anyone who likes western stories, can be a book for teenagers and adults alike. It will bring back old memories for the adults of cowboy adventures and riding off into the sunsets.
