Great-great grandpa and a cousin were a couple of the scouts who captured Santa Anna. If gramps had had his way the guy would have been shot dead on the spot and history would have never known what happened to him. That leg was lost in Mexico and has absolutely nothing to do with Texas history. Other than maybe 3 liberal ninnies on the board of the museum, who don’t know history from their behinds, no one in Texas wants it. Illinois can have the old moldy thing.
Here’s a great wild and wooly read on the Battle of Bexar and the Battle of San Jacinto with Santa Anna’s capture: http://www.jstor.org/stable/27784906?seq=1
