<description><![CDATA[ (Jul 27, 2012) Civil War re-enactors from around the region will gather at Robert Moses State Park in Massena this weekend.   But it isn&apos;t all cannons and uniforms.

She&apos;s a technology teacher in the Hudson Valley, who is also a Civil War re-enactor. Women&apos;s fashions from that era were all about making the waist appear small. Hull says hoop skirts, petticoats and full sleeves helped. She studied theater arts in college, makes her own Civil War era dresses and is an expert on women&apos;s fashions from the 1860s.

<title>Secret warriors: women in the Civil War</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/17164/20110216/secret-warriors-women-in-the-civil-war</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Feb 16, 2011) Civil War buffs are commemorating the war’s 150th anniversary this year.  As part of an occasional series of conversations about the Civil War and its North Country connections, Todd Moe talks with a local re-enactor about women soldiers.  Some women served as nurses, spies or camp cooks during the war, but others marched into battle. Forbidden from the military during the Civil War, hundreds of women disguised their gender by wearing uniforms and using masculine names.  Canton Civil War re-enactor Martha Maine takes on the persona of her great grandfather, Harrison Carter Maine.   She says patriotic, eager for adventure, or to accompany their husbands, hundreds of women assumed male identities to win the right to fight.  Maine speaks on &quot;Women Soldiers in the Civil War&quot; at a Brown Bag Lunch program at noon this Thursday at the St. Lawrence County Historical Association in Canton.
