Going by memory
-Had a real intersting childhood. His family owned a large part of Catalina island. His father chose one one sister to the heartbreak of the other. The other sis was devoted to george and indulged him.
-Flunked his first year at Westpoint. Possibly because he was largely home schooled and had to adjust on the fly. Did fine after that first hard year
-Patton got into a gun fight vs villa men. Killed 2 i think. Real gunfighter stuff. Thats when he decided he need two revolvers. Ivory 45's
-Patton used a car to engage Pancho Villa's Men.First time ever. Killed them and put them on the hood like a deer
-Olympics- from wiki -Patton placed twenty-first on the pistol range, seventh in swimming, fourth in fencing, sixth in the equestrian competition, and third in the footrace, finishing fifth overall and first among the non-Swedish competitors.[32] There was some controversy concerning his performance in the pistol shooting competition, in which he used a .38 caliber U.S. Army–issue pistol while most of the other competitors chose .22 caliber firearms. He claimed that the holes in the paper from his early shots were so large that a later bullet passed through them, but the judges decided that one of his bullets missed the target completely. Modern competitions on this level frequently now employ a moving backdrop specifically to track multiple shots through the same hole.[33][34] If his assertion was correct, Patton would likely have won an Olympic medal in the event.[35] The judges' ruling was upheld. Patton's only comment on the matter was:
