<<Probably Sgt Gill encountered Santa Anna's leg during the United States' war with Mexico. . . .>>

I guess. They got his wooden leg and ate his chickens. I gotta find that article. It had to do with freeing Texas.

<<The rout was so complete that to escape capture, Santa Anna was forced to flee without both his extra wooden leg and a chest containing 50,000 pesos. >>

Yep, that was it, the war with Mexico. Got his leg and cooked chickens but not the 50k in pesos. Texas was won from Mexico and not France wasn't it?
