Now Mizz Penny, not all of us farmin' folks are stupid. There was a book published about a Sergeant Gill in the Mexican War that said he financed his troops that stole two chickens and Santa Anna's wooden leg. I wrote the authors and told them I had the land grants signed by Zachery Taylor and James T. Polk that went thru Sergeant Gill to my great grandpappy to finance that band of thieves. They had contended he was paid after the war. They wanted me to send the grants to Arizona, a land of outlaws, for them to study. They wouldn't come to Illinois to see them and I never sent them.
