520    The True Story Behind True Grit  Immortalized in the 
       classic novel and films, the real "Rooster" Cogburn was as
       bold, brash, and bigger-than-life as the American West 
       itself. Now, in this page-turning account, Cogburn's great
       -great-grandson reveals the truth behind the fiction-and 
       the man behind the myth...  He was born in 1866 in Fancy 
       Hill, Arkansas, the descendant of pioneers and 
       moonshiners. Six foot three, dark eyed, and a dead shot 
       with a rifle, Franklin "Rooster" Cogburn was as hard as 
       the rocky mountain ground his family settled. The only 
       authority the Cogburn clan recognized was God and a gun. 
       And though he never packed a badge, Rooster meted out his 
       own brand of justice-taking on a posse of U.S. deputy 
       marshals in a blazing showdown of gunfire and blood. Now a
       wanted man, with a $500 reward on his head, Rooster would 
       ultimately have to defend himself before a hanging judge. 
       Proud, stubborn, fearless, and ornery to the bitter end.  
       A fascinating portrait of a true American icon, Rooster 
       shows us the making of a legend-fashioned by Arkansas 
       newspaperman Charles Portis with bits and pieces of 
       historical figures, including Deputy Reuben M. Fry, one-
       eyed Deputy Marshal Cal Whitson, Joseph Peppers (Lucky 
       Ned), Joseph Spurling (Mattie Ross's grandfather) and bank
       robber Frank Chaney (scar-faced Tom Chaney.) Behind it all
       stood a man named "Rooster," with two good eyes and a tale
       all his own.  With never-before-seen photos  Some folks 
       are just born to tell tall tales. Brett Cogburn was reared
       in Texas and the mountains of Southeastern Oklahoma. He 
       was fortunate enough for many years to make his living 
       from the back of a horse, where on cold mornings cowboys 
       still straddled frisky broncs and dragged calves to the 
       branding fire on the end of a rope from their saddle 
       horns. Growing up around ranches, livestock auctions, and 
       backwoods hunting camps filled Brett's head with stories, 
       and he never forgot a one. In his own words: "My 
       grandfather taught me to ride a bucking horse, my mother 
       gave me a love of reading, and my father taught me how to 
       hunt my own meat and shoot straight. Cowboys are just as 
       wild as they ever were, and I've been damn lucky to have 
       known more than a few." The West is still teaching him how
       to write. His first novel, Panhandle, will be published in
       November 2012. Brett Cogburn lives in Oklahoma with his 
       family.
