I don't think he was wounded in any of the Civil War battles.

When he declared "I have lost my right arm", he was of course speaking figuratively. (It was in response to the news that Stonewall Jackson had lost his left arm at Chancellorsville.)

However, his health did start to decline from about this point. It was diagnosed as rheumatism, but was in fact Heart disease. After the war, people were shocked to see how ill he looked.
