“George S. Patton, Jr.” His parents were George Patton and Ruth Wilson; he comes from a long line of military background. His father was the son of a civil war vet and his father was in many American wars before him. George Jr. had a lot of military blood running through him and it was just waiting to get out of him and be put in effect. He grew up on a farm in Pasedena. While on the farm he learned how to fish and hunt and how to become a survivalist. On the farm his father read to him what most normal kids would not even know about. The books he read to him were written by Shakespeare, Homer, and the Holy Bible. He did not attend school until he was eleven years old.
