Description: 

Hamp and his wife live behind the dilapidated Worsham house, where they help Belle Worsham raise chickens and vegetables for market. The Worsham family is one of the oldest in Yoknapatawpha, and Hamp is "descended from one of [the family's] slaves" (356). It is likely that the cabin in which he lives was originally built as a slave cabin.
