Illinois to display Santa Anas artificial leg this summer

The 130 year old cork and wood prosthetic from the Alamo commander will be shown in Springfield this summer. Santa Ana lost the leg in 1838 during a French incident and again in the Mexican American War after lunching on chicken. Illinois soldiers once kept the leg, shipping it to London for viewing, and it has elapsed multiple debates about returning it to Texas or Mexico.
