Santa Ana also lost a leg and then gave himself a very nice funeral for it!

Somehow that leg is now in Illinois.

The Illinois leg was captured during the War with Mexico, when some guys from my hometown, on a patrol out behind the Mexican army, came across Santa Ana's camp. The general fled, leaving behind his dinner and his leg.
