A topic few of us know about !
) 
I consider this to be one of the best purchases I've made. It describes a topic most of us don't know about or never knew existed. It describes the hardships and prejudices that existed for women who wanted to serve both sides in the War Between the States. It is a well organized and documented story; it is presented in a documentary and non-judgmental manner. A must for the Civil War buff !

) Interesting story of two women who dressed like men in order to join the army during the Civil War. The acting is poor, but the facts are true. G rated for family showing. Educational.

Secret Soldiers of the Civil War: fantastic film
) Since most of my family is in or has been in the military, I thought it would bless us all to know of the sacrifices of people who weren't celebrated like they should have been.

Well done and very informative documentary type. This aspect of the American Civil War has not been well covered in history presentations. It is not an advocate piece.

Learned something new. Ironically with the victorian mindset of the time, no one thought that women wouldn't have the audacity to even think of disquising themselves as men to go to war.

Lost History that should be rememberedThis DVD brings to light the fact that women played more toles in the Civil War than history books have taught us over the years. These women were not only brave, but risked everythign they had in order to find some place among the troops to avoid even a harsher life at home during these confusing times.
At the time of the Civil War, women were not even allowed to vote in this country and considered 2nd hand citizens by society. There is more to this other than gender, these strong spirits seemd to not only play the role of soldier, but excel in many areas well above the men who stood beside them and respected them as one of their own.
Worth taking a look at and not letting these brave soldiers efforts go unnoticed and forgotten.
