With the release of the 2010 "True Grit" movie, more and more people are searching about one of the main characters in the movie, Rooster Cogburn. It is believed that a lot of the character of Rooster Cogburn was patterned after the only one-eyed US Deputy Marshal serving under Judge Issac C. Parker - and that man was Calvin "Cal" Whitson.
