  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.

  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.

  So interesting how each cemetery has its own look and how differently the graves are decorated.

  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.

  The true grit remake with Jeff Bridges was a good watch as well.
