Jeff Cooper

If you find these words inspiring, we ask you to help us perpetuate the legacy of Jeff Cooper with a gift to our Foundation. Your gift is entirely tax-deductible and will help us grow and expand our scholarship program and insure that Jeff’s writings and personal collections are kept intact, preserved and available to all.

Our hope is to ensure that Jeff Cooper’s life’s work is commemorated properly for posterity. The entire family joins me in appreciation for your support of our efforts.

Janelle Cooper, President

“Heroism is never futile, for it is a thing of the soul, demonstrating that man is more than just another animal. This is a truth that needs emphasis in the dingy modern era, when the race’s most basic values are under attack. Honor is, at last, all we can take with us.”

-from Another Country

“In my experience, self-control is the answer to flaws of character.”
-from C Stories

“This preoccupation with equality is another symptom of the degeneracy of The Age of the Common Man. In the first place it is an illusion, since men are not created equal, except in the political sense. Everyone is better or worse than someone else in a particular example of his capacities, and pretending that this is not so is simply silly. Excellence, not mediocrity, should be everyone’s goal, and it is hard to think of anything, from gardening to crossword puzzles, at which someone may not excel.

-from Shotluck

“We are still free in America to study an art which many believe is essential to the survival of political liberty.”
-from Shotluck

“’Disarmed’. That’s the word. Taken aback, defeated, helpless, gelded, stopped. Not citizens then, but serfs.”
-from Fireworks

“As our civilization urbanizes, and as more and more of our young people never set foot off the pavement, much less clean a fish, we can no longer take for granted that our youth naturally and automatically undertand the traditions which gave us this country, and which must be maintained if we wish to keep it.”
-from To Ride, Shoot Straight and Speak the Truth

Our third scholarship recipient completed her 250 at Gunsite on June 19 with an M1 certificate. Ivy O'hern is 18 and a recent high school graduate from Americus, Georgia. She will be attending college in the fall and intends to become a physical therapist.

Ivy came to our attention through the recommendation of a mutual friend and wrote such a great letter to Janelle about her desire to take a class at Gunsite that we were thrilled to accomodate her. She came to Arizona accompanied by her parents and we had the pleasure of meeting them all and welcoming them into the Gunsite family.
