Seven deadly sins
I removed the paragraph about the seven deadly sins because it didn't seem very credible; the seven deadlies are a fairly Catholic notion, and Mattie is about as Protestant as they come.Ilyaunfois 00:18, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Mattie Ross gives Rooster her father's gun not the horse. He bought the horse from Stonehill after his horse was shot under him by Neds gang. While stating that " this is the first time I;ve had to cuss you" keep up the good work have only just found your site. mattieross—
Fill Your Hands
24 May 2007 The first time I saw True Grit was around 2005. I gotta tell ya, when Rooster charged those men it brought tears to my eyes. He was old and outnumbered but he didn't hesitate a second. He even gave them fair warning. Fantastic! -Dan
True Grit split
When folks are looking for information about True Grit, it's most likely they are looking for information about the movie, therefore, I would propose that the film article be retained on this article, and details about the novel be split to True Grit (novel). — WiseKwai 10:53, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

True Grit Locations
I do not know if this should be added, but here is a youtube video showing some locations from the movie then and now http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0EUP9rOLf30 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.107.50.158 (talk) 01:18, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
It is obvious Oklahoma ( the I.T, then) was not used as the location, but Colorado. The book said: "the winter of 1880"; but it is obviously Fall.
"Booger-Man?"
It was "Boogie Man in the book. I Neville heard the term "Booger Man" as a child; nor do I find a reference to it any where. I don't know if the screenwriter took license or John Wayne.
Drunk?
Ironic, isnt it, that both John Wayne And Lee Marvin did so many memorable parts in so many movies, yet neither got an Oscar until they played Drunks? (Lee Marvin as "Kid Shelleen" in Cat Ballou; John Wayne in True Grit.)
