Image of Governor Wade Hampton, waste up in civilian suit, by G.N. Barbard, Charleston SC. Gold trimmed, fine. Hampton was declared governor in 1876 after a disputed contest with the incumbent governor, Daniel Chamberlain (see Portrait Of Daniel H. Chamberlain, 1864, and Wade Hampton III Monument) ended Federal military control of the state. Reelected governor in 1878, he resigned in 1879 to accept election to the U.S. Senate. He served in this position until 1891, retiring from politics when the Populist movement changed the political structure of the state. He died in Columbia in 1902. This carte-de-viste photo of Wade Hampton was taken in 1879.
