Texas should have a leg up on that request.

Good grief! People find the damnedest things to fight over.
I’m a 7th generation Texan—and I can’t imagine wanting Santa Anna’s artificial leg for a museum.
I must be missing something here..

I live in Illinois and I can assure you that Texas won’t be able to walk all over us.

Hmmm, the author of this article must have one leg with no prosthetic too.

I live in the bankrupt (financially and politically) state of Illinoisistan. I suggest the leg be put up for auction on Ebay. We need the $.

Careful here. The BLM may claim it as they do all property that there is any dispute as to who it rightfully belongs.

I reckon Texas doesn’t have a leg to stand on.

People from Texas tried to dig up Moses Austin’s grave in Potosi MO to take back to Texas, but were stopped. A concrete cap was poured over the grave site to prevent it from happening again.

Meanwhile, if I recall my history, Santa Anna’s real leg was burred in Mexico City with lavish pomp and ceremony in something vaguely resembling Napoleon’s tomb. This happened during one of the half-dozen times he was Mexico’s president. However, a short time later, having overstayed his welcome, as he always did, angry Mexicans ran him out of town, dug out his leg, and threw it in the river.

Isn’t there some story about Stonewall Jackson’s actual leg buried somewhere other than with the rest of his body? And where’s Santa Anna’s real leg?

Trying to think of a reason that this issue is important.
Frankly, I'm stumped...

Youre missing a leg. It's just a flesh wound...
