Martyria: Or Andersonville Prison is a historical book written by Augustus Choate Hamlin in 1866. The book provides a detailed account of the Andersonville Prison during the American Civil War. The author, who was a prisoner at Andersonville, describes the inhumane conditions that the prisoners had to endure, including overcrowding, lack of food and water, and diseases. The book also sheds light on the brutal treatment of prisoners by the Confederate guards, who were accused of torturing and killing many of them.
