Information About

Rooster Cogburn




Cogburn is described as a "fearless, one-eyed Judge for the Western District of Arkansas (having criminal jurisdiction in the Indian Territory, as the baliff repeatedly announces in both films).

In the first film, Cogburn helps Mattie Ross (played by Kim Darby ) to track down Tom Cheney, the man who killed Ross's father. In the sequel, he teams up with Eula Goodnight ( Katharine Hepburn ) and Wolf ( Richard Romancito ) while on the trail of a desperado, Hawk (Richard Jordan), who has stolen a shipment of Nitroglycerin from the U.S. Army .

The movie ''Rooster Cogburn'' was filmed in Oregon , in Deschutes County west of the town of Bend (for the mountain scenes), and on the Rogue River , in the counties of Josephine and Curry , west of the town of Grants Pass (for the river scenes).
