Confederate Veteran Hampkin Seeks Pension Commissioner Nomination
The narrative traces Hampkin’s Civil War service from Alabama units through the Seventh Alabama and Forty-eighth Alabama, noting wounds at Sharpsburg and extensive Virginia campaigns. After the war he pursued medicine briefly, then law, farming, and served in the general assembly 1884-1886. He argues a Confederate veteran should hold the pension commissioner post and says he expects strong support for a likely campaign.
