   Was there a novelization with that title? Didn't the movie come from a   
   L'Amour book titled RIDE THE RIVER or something like that?   
      
   Anyway, the L'Amour ought to be ok.  It was in first person by a   
   hillbilly Sackett girl who inherited some money, was befriended by a   
   lawyer. The money was stolen and she chased the robbers and got it back.   
   Her language was clean, tho dialect.
