The True Story of Andersonville Prison: A Defense of Major Henry Wirz is a historical non-fiction book written in 1908 by James Madison Page. The book is an account of the infamous Andersonville Prison during the American Civil War, which was operated by the Confederate Army. The author, who was a prisoner at Andersonville, provides a detailed description of the living conditions and treatment of prisoners, including the lack of food, shelter, and medical care. The book also focuses on the trial of Major Henry Wirz, the commander of the prison, who was accused of war crimes and executed after the war. Page argues that Wirz was unfairly tried and executed, and that he was not responsible for the conditions at the prison. The book is an important historical document that sheds light on one of the darkest periods of American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
