given the Constitution is a far cry
from the rough treatment it received
Just four years after it was signed.
In April, 1865, it was saved from
destruction in Chester, 8. C.
After the war, the permanent Con
stitution was bought by the DeRenne
family in 1883 from George T. Han
ning of New York.
The last long trip the Constitution

DeRenne, at that time University
archivist, took it to the 61st and

in Norfolk, Va. It was heavily
guarded on that trip north and as
an additional precaution was insured
for the journey for $50,000.
