Nathaniel Hammond was born on December 26, 1833, in Elbert County, northeast Georgia, United States, the son of Amos W. Hammond. During his boyhood the family removed to Monroe County in middle Georgia.
In Monroe County in middle Georgia, whence, after preparatory schooling, Nathaniel was sent to the University of Georgia. He was graduated with honors in 1852, read law, was admitted to the bar.
After graduation Nathaniel Hammond began to practise at Atlanta in partnership with his father. Throughout the Civil War he served as solicitor general of the Atlanta circuit. In 1865 he became reporter of the supreme court of Georgia, serving until 1872 when he resigned to accept the attorney-generalship of the state under Governor J. M. Smith. In 1879 he entered Congress as a Democrat and served for four terms, 1879-1887.
Regarded as one of the leaders of the Georgia bar, Hammond was counsel in many important cases. In 1896, in association with ex-Senator Edmunds, of Vermont, he represented the government in the Long and Short Haul Case before the United States Supreme Court. On the death of Justice William Woods, of the Supreme Court, the bar of Georgia recommended Hammond to succeed him.
Higher education was one of Hammond's prime interests. For many years he was a member of the board of education of Atlanta and for twenty-five years a member of the board of trustees of the University of Georgia, being chairman much of the time, and championing the cause of the university before the people at a period when the institution was unpopular. He was also president of the board of trustees of the Atlanta College of Physicians and Surgeons.
Presiding Justice Lumpkin, of the supreme court of Georgia, in response to a memorial presented on the occasion of Hammond’s death, stressed his great practical usefulness. In his every relation of life that trait seems to have been outstanding.

A contemporary has described Hammond as cold and reserved and with few of the traits that make for popularity. His intellect was of a high order.
In 1858, Hammond was married to Laura Lewis, daughter of Custis Lewis of Griffin, Ga. His son was for seventeen years his law partner.
