In response to the pine tree root scene in the cave, I meant to say that it would not be common for a small pine tree to have a vine-like root like the one in the movie 30 feet deep in a pit, but feel free to correct me on that. And there were not any trees in the vicinity of the pit, that I recall.
What would have made more sense would have been for the girl to fall through an indian trap and then into the cave with scary indian stuff in it. After all, they were in Choctaw country and there was not a scene in the movie showing a Choctaw tribe or anything related to what their major fear as they started the journey. It would have been more interesting had the cave been a large chamber decorated with speleothems. And the dead guy in the cave, should have been a miner or something more interesting, than a dusty set of bones filled with rattlers. ( at first glance the snakes when they were coiled up, looked more like tropical snakes ) Another spoiler, Mattie had her father's gun for several days, but waited till the bad gunslinger showed up and confronted him with it before she ever bothered to learn how to even hold it.
