I have been trying to find out some information on George Patton's gunfight when he was serving under Black Jack Pershing. Anyone know where there is some info or any links. Most of what I can find relates of course to WWII.

I don'tknow if there is a website for the Patton Museum at Fort Knox. I did see there a lever action rifle used in the gun battle. The notation said it was from his time with Black Jack. A spent case was still in the breech left there by Patton. It was from the original Patton family weapon collection. Pretty intersting.

Also he did drop the "bad guy"

Hi:
In the recent past the History Channel had a program on Patten's gunfight.
