<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.
