Santa An(n)a's Wooden Leg in Illinois

From Illinois Chronicles. //// Sgt. John Gill of Pekin, Illinois, and his squad fighting in 1847 during the Mexican War came upon a disabled coach wagon without a horse. Inside it they found a bag of gold, roasted chicken and a wooden leg. //// They later found that the wooden leg belonged to none other than Mexican leader Santa An(n)a who had left the coach after it broke down. Sgt. Gill brought the leg home with him as a souvenir and later presented it to the State of Illinois and it is now in the State Historical Society Museum. (I have heard it is in the State Military Museum. Personally, until a few years ago, I didn't even know he had a wooden leg.) //// You Just Wouldn't Expect to Find Santa Anna's Wooden Leg in Illinois. --Cooter
