I found the story revealing about him being kicked in the head by a horse while playing polo, and while completely concussed the next week or so, sailed his family on a sailboat from California to Hawaii.
He had not recollection of the journey!
I hope I remembered that right, I read that story some years ago.
Just an astonishing man.

For that reason Patton quit playing polo in 1940. He didn’t want to risk getting hurt and missing the impending war.
When he was stationed at Ft Benning, he threatened to run tanks through Phenix City AL to flatten the town because the corrupt locals were attacking his troops.
