Holy crap! Wounded six times in three years of fighting? Either he was damn lucky or a very unlucky leader. I'm going with lucky. It's a shame his life and career was derailed by mental illness.

CPL Patrick Ras - most likely from tertiary syphilis
By the time he was given command of the Department of Texas in late November 1883, he was already showing signs of mental and emotional deterioration, possibly the result of tertiary syphilis. After being beaten savagely during a drunken melee in a San Antonio saloon, Mackenzie was found lashed to a wagon wheel in a seamy alley

Such a sad end to a somewhat short illustrious career Brother Dale. I keep trying to subscribe to this to no avail.
