Jefferson Davis was wounded during the Battle of Buena Vista, which took place in February 1847 during the Mexican-American War. He was serving as a colonel of the 1st Mississippi Infantry when he was shot in the right shoulder by a Mexican bullet. The injury was severe enough to incapacitate him temporarily, but he continued to command his troops despite the pain. Davis's bravery during the battle helped to solidify his reputation as a leader.
