This blog grew out of my "Down Da Road I Go Blog," which was originally to be about stuff I was interested in, music and what I was doing. There was so much history and Civil War entries, I spun two more off. Starting Jan. 1, 2012, I will be spinning a Naval blog off this one called "Running the Blockade."

Chester, S.C., End of the War-- Part 3: The Provisional and Permanent Constitutions of the Confederacy
Not only was the treasury of the Confederacy on the train, but also many important documents including both the provisional and permanent Confederate Constitutions and the Great Seal of the Confederacy.
The Constitutions were recovered and kept safe by Felix Gregory DeFontaine, who later sold them to museums. The provisional one ended up in the Confederate Museum in Richmond, Va., and the permanent one is now owned by the University of Georgia.
