Santa Anna's peg leg was lost during the Battle of San Jacinto in 1836. After being defeated by Texian forces, he fled the battlefield and left behind the leg, which had been made of wood and served as a prosthetic for his amputated limb. The leg was later retrieved by Texian soldiers and eventually became a curious artifact, symbolizing his defeat in the Texas Revolution.

HIS LEG - See full explanation below: In 1838, Santa Anna discovered a chance to redeem himself from his Texan loss, when French forces landed in Veracruz, Mexico in the Pastry War, a short conflict which began after Mexico rejected French demands for financial recompense for losses suffered by some French citizens. The Mexican government gave Santa Anna control of the army and ordered him to defend the nation by any means necessary. He engaged the French at Veracruz and, as the Mexican resistance retreated after a failed assault, Santa Anna was hit in the leg and hand by cannon fire. His ankle was shattered and this resulted in the amputation of his leg, which he ordered buried with full military honors. Santa Anna famously used a cork leg after the amputation, but it was captured and kept by American troops during the Mexican-American War. It is on display at the Illinois National Guard Museum in Springfield.
