Springfield, Illinois - Artificial Leg of Santa Anna

I live in Springfield, home of the artificial leg of Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna which is located in a museum in the National Guard Armory on North Grand Avenue. This was the subject of a spoof on an episode of "King of the Hill," but the fact is that we DO have the leg, and we ain't giving it back! Remember the Alamo! [Romitus, 01/24/1999]
