“Mainly an account of the nomination and election in 1876 of General Wade Hampton as governor of South Carolina on the ‘straightout’ Democratic platform. Introductory chapters give an account of Hampton’s ancestry, his early life and training, an appreciation of his character, and a sketch of his service as a Confederate general in the civil war. In the last chapter the author speaks briefly of the later years of Hampton as United States senator and as retired citizen.”—Dial.
“The work is interestingly written, with perhaps too much moralizing, and contains an abundant store of good anecdotes.”

“The narrative is often rambling and disjointed; and the tone, while sincere is too partisan for the purpose of history.”
