Very cool! My wife's family originally settled that area. There's a small cemetery up in the woods from there, called the Caldwell Cemetery, where some of her ancestors are buried.
You mentioned Judge Parker "The hanging Judge" a few times. I live in Fort Smith, and have visited his grave here in the National Cemetary. A few graves to the right of him is William O. Darby, known for the Darby's Rangers of WW2. If you look out over their headstones into the graveyard and to the left the grave of Betty Lou Oliver is within sight. She got her fame by being a a 25 year old elevator operator in the Empire State Building in 1945 when a B25 Mitchel got lost in the fog and hit the building. She had burns and her rescuers put her on a stretcher in the elevator. It fell when the cable snapped, and she lived after falling a bunch of floors passing I believe in 2006. I'm pretty sure she is still in the Guinnis Book Of World Records for it. Her husband was Military, so her name is on the back of his headstone. She is kinda one of my heros if you hadn't noticed.
I was at a library in nearby . Montgomery doing some research and found a listing of a Rooster Cogburn in a cemetary in Montgomery County. Maybe there was more than one Rooster.
There was two unique stones I noticed that looked really thin. I found that intriguing on how strong they really must be for lasting as long as they are. I love watching westerns myself and never realize True Grit was based off a real person. Thank you Mr. Ron for sharing.
Another Great one. I’ve been in that area several times and it’s just beautiful there. But, I had no idea rooster Cogburn was buried there. I’m sure you enjoyed coming through Arkansas. It is a beautiful state.
You're a great storyteller. I love the way you make the past live again and take us to meet these people who have gone before us. I never knew Rooster Cogburn was a real man until now but it was nice to see a flower on his grave 109 years after his death. Someone remembers and I like that. Here in Ireland some local Dublin cemeteries have got into a terrible state through prolific weed growth and lack of care. There is talk of setting up a society of friends take care of graves and I intend to get involved if it happens. As it is, whenever I visit the graves of family and friends I always tidy up a couple of graves that seem to have been forgotten either because family don't care or because there is nobody left alive to remember the deceased.
Small cemetery in the middle of the wilderness but people are visiting and placing flowers and remembering their loved ones. Amazing. The drone scenery and music is awesome.
Thank you again for the great story and opportunity to remember a man who is or isn't the real Rooster Cogburn it's really interesting to find out about what has been written in the novel as to history of this family
Hi Ron. A great vlog. I am a huge fan of both john wayne and american history especially the 1800's. Once again your material gathered for this vlog is sensational. One of those can't stop listening moments. Afraid to miss a word or two about the story. Well done my friend. Take care, stay safe and God bless.👍🏻❤🙏
The flowers on those graves were so pretty ,,..you are so kind to fix those flowers ,,I just loved seeing all those flowers on all those graves ,,we usually never see flowers ..it’s so pretty…very nice 👍
Fantastic video! True Grit is one of my favorite films. I love how men were shown to be noble, humble and a protector of those around them. 💯 True men with true grit. ❤️
It's interesting to hear of this Cogburn and I have never heard of him before. I do think that some authors do see names and then write a story. The outlaw Blu Duck is a good example of that but there have been many. Thank you for mentioning the channel. You've got some great music going on this one!
hmmm, interesting...could be a stand in. but I doubt it because True West Magazine and author Bob Boze Bell are legit as they come, that why I trusted the article.
Me neither, As far as I knew He was a character that John Wayne played in a movie. ( I didn't read the book until I was almost grown) I'm going to become very unpopular Right now, From what I understand, In taking all of this Into account Is the author of the book Was using several Real life people As models in his story About judge Parkers Favorite Marshall. But the Marshall's name was Bass, which the Author did not care for. But here was another name : "Rooster" (Ruben) Cogburn.. A notorious thumper, With Legendary grit. So much so that We will Only give him One eye so that The bad guys have at least some chance! What a cool story and what Is cooler is that it's based on real people!
The graves wreathed in flowers are beautiful! I’ve never seen so many flowers in any cemetery I’ve visited. So lovely. Very interesting overview of Rooster Cogburn, Ron. Rev. Franklin Cogburn was an imposing figure. Beautiful country and drone footage, Ron.
Wayne and Hepburn starred in the movie, called 'Rooster Cogburn'. That was a good movie also. I think it came out after True Grit. True Grit was a real classic.
Thanks for sharing the story of the real Rooster Cogburn. 🐓 I really love the sequel with Katherine Hepburn. Beautifully kept cemetery with all those graves decorated with so many flowers 💐 looks like new graves. Great drone footage showing the beautiful countryside.
Saw both movies, which I enjoyed immensely, and always wondered about Rooster too. Love your utube station. Fantastic background stories as always. Now I'm off to download the book!
Oh my goodness, to think that once upon a time all this was happening. Loved the films but this has really got me interested to discover more. And by the way, such beautiful scenery.
True Grit one of my favorite Western movies. Loved the story Ron of Rooster Cogburn. Loved the music and drone footage you did. From seeing that it is beautiful country (GODS COUNRTY) we like to say in the south. Thanks again Ron 👍 safe travels 🙏
Just discovered your channel a few days ago. I'm thoroughly enjoying all your videos. You're a great storyteller and really bring the people & their stories to life. Keep doing what you're doing.
Yes Arkansas is a beautiful state that I'm from. Love it here ..... Another great video Ron. I didn't know about cogburn was from here and buried here til you showed it here on your video. Great job Ron!! Yes it's lots of curves and dangerous driving thru the Ozarks and I've done my share of riding thru Ozarks many of years driving to visit my family up north of hot springs Arkansas!!!! Thanks for sharing this video Ron!! Bless you and drive safe and safe travels on your way to Texas and everywhere you go.......
I had no idea that Rooster was a real man, True Grit is such a classic. Love hearing this history. I really wonder if Reverend Cogburn is the real Rooster? I've got to get the book now. Lovely countryside and great music too. 💜
beautiful countryside I luv the aerial views taken from the drone, saw both movies John Wayne and Jeff Bridges - they did fine job portraying Rooster 👍🏻
Cool story Ron....especially for our generation that grew up watching the Duke. Did not know his character had some true history to it besides what was rolled in the credits after both movies. Thanks Pilgrim.
Nice to know there was actually a real person. Never thought about it. Like that you followed up on checking it out. Will have to check out the book. Thanks
So a few minutes after watching this video I turn on the TV and start flipping channels and guess what I find? The movie "Rooster Cogburn"! Thanks so much for another really interesting visit!
Hi Ron beautiful Cemetery, very well looked after, very interesting story, it’s nice to see Rev Franklyn Cogburn has a very fresh flower by his grave, being that he died in 1912. Stunning views at the end, . Thanks Ron, see you on the next one. Xxxx
my dad loves john wayne.thannk you for another story to keep my mind occupied, great drone work and music choiices as well as story,you rock ron truly.
I so enjoy your videos. you provide so much historical information and present the stories with great respect for the dead. I want to re-read True Grit and the book about Cogburn.
WOW, thank you very much sir. You are one of the best in this genre. You make quality videos. Each time, I dive back into the life of the one you feature. I would still listen to you making us relive those bygone eras that have shaped our present. Thanks again.
Another great episode. I was born and raised in historical Fort Smith. And proud of it too. So naturally I loved the movies about Rooster Cogburn with hometown as backdrop.
I used to have an app on my phone that would tell me about historical markers nearby and I read one about this hanging judge y'all had I guess the gallows were four wide because he liked hanging so much.
@@Justin-yc1ig when I was a kid you could walk up onto the gallows, but some knucklehead accidentally almost hung himself trying take a picture so they block access to it. I’m guessing that hasn’t changed.
One of my top 3 J.W. movies loved G.C. in it. Now I know its based on a real person makes it even better. Love from Texas❤️stay warm. Loved Cheryl picture.
Very good episode, I have to go back to watch one and two of your journey...maybe more, a rainy day in California. May I suggest you go to Colma, CA in the San Francisco Bay Area...it's home to many of my family members as well as Wyatt Earp and many others. Across the street is Molloy's Irish Pub...the fam went in for a shot on many dark days when we had to say goodbye. I think you would really enjoy it.
I live in Georgia and drive a school bus, lots of cows & cattle around, i almost expect to see John Wayne rid out! My dad thought the world of him & my dad was 82nd airborne & made all 4 juimps they made Bronze star & purple heart.
Thank you so much for the video, i have never seen John F Cogburn head stone. This is my G uncle. his brother William Bill Cogburn is my G GRandfather. You need to read the book if have not already. Again thank youi i enjoy your videos.
Thank you Ron for another great adventure. Love the cemetery and the flowers the country looks beautiful there. Your story telling skills are outstanding.🇺🇸👮🏻♂️
One of my favorite movies, and one of the first I got to see on a big screen. True Grit- the wonderful song and story, I had no idea he was a real person, and not just a legend. Either way, an awesome episode, thanks for sharing this Ron!
Love 💘 old John Wayne movies! This is a favorite! We may never know if he was this man, or a composite of several. Must be alot of family left in the area that really like to decorate alot of those graves with alot of flowers 💐
Arkansas and Oklahoma have much the same flora and fauna....it may look pretty but I'm not going to trapes through it...too many snakes and bug and other critters that bite you. Good story, cool cemetery and nice videography...enjoyed it all, thanks Ron.
This brought back some great memories of my mom. We used to joke that we would rush to get up and change the channel if a cowboy hat came on the screen, because if my mom saw it we'd be stuck watching another cowboy movie. Mom loved the story of Rooster Cogburn as well as True Grit. Thanks for bringing back good memories.
Really great video Ron. I enjoyed this one a lot. You've gotten a professional touch with your drone, loved the video from the drone of the country side there, beautiful place, it looked like land from one of those westerns. I loved the movie True Grit, it's one of my favorites of John Wayne's. I never knew his character was actually real. I'm glad you did this video showing us the grave of where he lies. I can't wait to see the next video you have for us to see. Stay safe on your journey Ron.🙂💟
👋 Hi just catching up with your story's Ron. I just loved that film. John Wayne was my Hero he reminded me of my Dad. He was 6ft 4ins tall worked down the pit and believe me he took no s... from no one. I miss him so much but memories of him are my treasures..... Much respect Ron. ❤💐💐💐💐💐
You should visit OK , Tulsa Memorial Parj Cemetary - Roy Clark,Bob Wills,Leon Russell, Sam Kinison, Waymon TisDale. Pretty Boy Floyd is Buried in Akins, OK near the ARK/OK border, and Fort Sill OK , Sitting Bear - Leader, Kicking bird - warrior, Chief Ten Bears, and more at the Post Cemetary and at Beef Creek Apache Cemetary , Geronimo and some of his family and others too buried here at the Apache Arbuckle Hill Cemetary also at Ft. Sill.
Wow what a beautifully kept Cemetery 😍 It's very colourful. And the story is outstanding too, and of course even better being narrated by yourself Ron. 😀🙋♀️
This is a wonderful vlog, Ron. I learn something from you in every one! Stay safe on your travels and be blessed. XX Love and prayers from Australia. ❤️🙏🏻🇦🇺
How many movies have done J. Wayne wow it’s incredible! He’s a masterpiece of western movies,like for our (in Italy) Sergio Leone, western movies famous director, or Ennio Morricone conductor (orchestra) soundtrack for the most famous western movies. Like the song “the ecstasy of gold” or “The good, the bad and the ugly..” And many many others ..
The start of this was like a movie, just stunning footage, love the decorated graves with flowers. Another great story ❤
He really puts together wonderful videos...
@@Mr93sharpei it's amazing, the drone, the stories, I'm in awe of his memory for things ❤❤
@@SerenitySueGraveyards
I agree....he just does everything well with his videos....
I truly enjoy each of them .
@@Mr93sharpei he's a pure Gent❤ he has helped me and my channel so much, please God one day he'll get to come to Ireland and I can show him around ❤
@@SerenitySueGraveyards
He does seem to be an extremely kind and decent soul. .
I am sure he will make it to Ireland...

I also live in Fort Smith, the history here is amazing.
Speaking of 'Darby' Kim Darby 👩 was amazing in the "True Grit" film as the daughter Mattie Ross who was seeking justice for her father's death.
Hey neighbor! I'm in Mountainburg.
I was at a library in nearby . Montgomery doing some research and found a listing of a Rooster Cogburn in a cemetary in Montgomery County. Maybe there was more than one Rooster.
@@garydunlap3168 I think this should be researched!
Your drone footage was ABSOLUTELY AWESOME, Ron!! It really highlighted the BEAUTY of the area!!
RIP Rooster Cogburn!! XXXX
There was two unique stones I noticed that looked really thin. I found that intriguing on how strong they really must be for lasting as long as they are. I love watching westerns myself and never realize True Grit was based off a real person. Thank you Mr. Ron for sharing.
I’m very proud of the beauty of my home state. Arkansas doesn’t get the credit it deserves. So glad you enjoyed your journey.
Another Great one. I’ve been in that area several times and it’s just beautiful there. But, I had no idea rooster Cogburn was buried there. I’m sure you enjoyed coming through Arkansas. It is a beautiful state.
Love when you use the drone! Great music as well. Thanks for another interesting history lesson
Love your videos Benn watching you from the start

So interesting how each cemetery has its own look and how differently the graves are decorated.
I never knew this was a real person. I have watched the movie and it was a good one. Thank so much for the story.
One of John Wayne's most iconic characters. And both True Grit and Rooster Cogburn were two of the best movies ever made!
And the ironic part is John Wayne hated playing the character. Especially the eye patch. To me his two best iconic roles I would agree.
I agree
Fantastic video! True Grit is one of my favorite films. I love how men were shown to be noble, humble and a protector of those around them. 💯 True men with true grit. ❤️

How could anyone over 25 never heard of Rooster Cogburn!
@@anitapena1758 I definitely know who Rooster Cogburn is and I'm a big fan of the movie. I've just never heard of this actual historical figure.

Very interesting overview of Rooster Cogburn, Ron. Rev. Franklin Cogburn was an imposing figure. Beautiful country and drone footage, Ron.
It was probably right after decoration day. A southern tradition.
Amazing drone footage loved the story thanks Ron for all you do
Hi Ron thank you sharing this with us beautiful drone shots both at the beginning and end very interesting story too stay safe and safe travels
Wayne and Hepburn starred in the movie, called 'Rooster Cogburn'. That was a good movie also. I think it came out after True Grit. True Grit was a real classic.
Hepburn actually called him Ruben in the movie
Another great history video. Really enjoyed. I like how you put pictures up to so we can actually see who your talking about..Thanks Ron
Thank you Cheryl for suggesting this story. Very interesting. What a beautiful lady you are! Loved seeing all of the flowers on the graves!
she came up wit 2 golden stories!! (well, in my book anyway...) the second is tomorrow night, from Mena Arkansas

Some of the graves there are sure beautifully decorated! Safe travels Ron!
Phenomenal...
Thank you for sharing your videos....you have a real talent for this .
I love how there are several graves with flowers here! It dont seem like we see that often. To be able to see so many is awesome!
I wish you continue using your drone more. The aerial views of the places you take us are phenomenal. TY sir. Cheers.
Me too…love the drone!
I only use it when it is appropriate, which is a lot still.
Great episode Ron!! Love the history and the way you tell it.
beautiful countryside I luv the aerial views taken from the drone, saw both movies John Wayne and Jeff Bridges - they did fine job portraying Rooster 👍🏻
My young grandsons love John Wayne. I'll have to read the book and share it with them.
Rest in peace Rev Franklin Cogburn 🙏🏻
Nice episode with great drone-images 👍🏻👍🏻😘😊
Another great job
Thank you
Howdy partner, Happy trails Ron - stay safe out there - take care 💜🙂 such beautiful flowers at that cemetery
Great movie and great story.
Excellent job on this video Ron !
You have a God given natural story telling gift.
Cool story Ron....especially for our generation that grew up watching the Duke. Did not know his character had some true history to it besides what was rolled in the credits after both movies. Thanks Pilgrim.
The drone is awesome! It really wraps up the storytelling seeing the “whole picture” including the surroundings in the shot. 💯
I enjoy how you do your homework with these stories of past. Thanks
Thank you for all your research on this one Ron. Great history and you always make it so interesting.
Love hearing about the old west. Loved the stories of Calamity Jane , Wild Bill and characters in Deadwood. John Wayne was great in that role
Greetings from LA, I truly enjoy your stories, they've fascinating! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Love the drone footage and the story. Also the beautiful chirping of the birds in the beginning! Beautiful day u had for this video. Thx Ron
Interesting history. Thank you for bringing another forgotten to us in TH-cam Land.
Nice to know there was actually a real person. Never thought about it. Like that you followed up on checking it out. Will have to check out the book. Thanks
So a few minutes after watching this video I turn on the TV and start flipping channels and guess what I find? The movie "Rooster Cogburn"! Thanks so much for another really interesting visit!
I loved John Wayne movies ...great story Ron thanks keep them coming I love them stay safe ❤

Such a beautiful, peaceful cemetery! Thank you for the great story! Poor Rev. Cogburn lived to be only 44 or 45, it appears. That seems so young.
Mid 40's was a old man back them. Do you're research
Another great episode. I was born and raised in historical Fort Smith. And proud of it too.
So naturally I loved the movies about Rooster Cogburn with hometown as backdrop.
I used to drive a truck and would deliver to fort Smith, I would never have the chance to explore the city because of deadlines. Maybe one day.
I used to have an app on my phone that would tell me about historical markers nearby and I read one about this hanging judge y'all had I guess the gallows were four wide because he liked hanging so much.
@@Justin-yc1ig I hope you get that opportunity. It’s very interesting. An added bonus now is that the National Marshals Museum is there.
@@Justin-yc1ig when I was a kid you could walk up onto the gallows, but some knucklehead accidentally almost hung himself trying take a picture so they block access to it. I’m guessing that hasn’t changed.
Excellent story telling! Thanks for sharing this and many more tales. I'm kinda hooked now.
Great drone work!
Great story, wonderfully told.. Bravo ~!!!
One of my top 3 J.W. movies loved G.C. in it. Now I know its based on a real person makes it even better. Love from Texas❤️stay warm. Loved Cheryl picture.
