Armenia, a martyr nation A historical sketch of the Armenian people from traditional times to the present tragic days
by Mugurdich Chojhauji Gabrielian
About the author
Born in 1857, Mugurdich Chojhauji Gabrielian is known for works that introduced English-language readers to Armenian history and the Armenian national cause. Library and catalog records confirm him as the author of The Armenians, or The People of Ararat (1892) and The Armenian Question: And the Massacres of the Christians (1895).
He later wrote Armenia: A Martyr Nation (1918), a historical sketch that presents the long history of the Armenian people alongside the tragedies they faced under Ottoman rule. Across these books, his writing is direct and purposeful, combining historical narrative with moral argument.
Very little biographical detail beyond his birth year was readily confirmed from reliable sources during this search. Even so, his surviving books show a writer deeply committed to making Armenia's history, culture, and suffering understood by readers outside his homeland.
