Martyria - Augustus Choate Hamlin - Bog

Martyria: Or Andersonville Prison (1866) is a historical account of the infamous Andersonville Prison during the American Civil War. Written by Augustus Choate Hamlin, a Union soldier who was imprisoned at Andersonville for six months, the book provides a detailed and harrowing description of the conditions inside the prison. Hamlin describes the overcrowded and unsanitary living conditions, the lack of food and medical care, and the brutal treatment of prisoners by the Confederate guards. He also provides insight into the daily struggles of the prisoners and the ways in which they tried to survive, including forming close bonds with fellow prisoners and engaging in small acts of rebellion. The book is both a firsthand account of one of the darkest chapters in American history and a tribute to the resilience and bravery of those who endured it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
