Belles of the Musket Ball: Women Soldiers of the Civil War

While women were not permitted to join the army during the Civil War, there were those who found a way to slip in amongst the ranks; all the while being hidden in plain sight. Learn the stories of these brave women, from the enlistment through their time in the field and their lives after the war. Also, hear the exploits of one of Michigan's own hidden heroines and learn what sets her apart from the rest.

Join us for this interesting program 6:30 Tuesday, September 24 in the Log Cabin room at the Church of the Nazarene, 9465 Cutler Road, Portland
