In 1862, she came to, the Sea Islands of South Carolina, which had been occupied by Union troops a year earlier. She taught newly freed blacks and later began treating wounded Union soldiers of both races. "One of her most fascinating achievements was her operation in Jacksonville, Fla.

of what was the first racially integrated free elementary school in the South," Schwartz said. "There's some conjecture that it may have been the first tuition-free school of any kind in Florida." Her husband, abolitionist John Milton Hawks, was serving as surgeon for the 21st U.S. Colored Troops. His wife assisted in surgery and later took command of a hospital for black troops. The original diaries, filling three composition books, were found in a pile of junk on a Massachusetts sidewalk beside a building undergoing renovation.

The man who found them later moved to Cullowhee, and his wife gave them to Schwartz. CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) It is the stuff of legends: a beautiful woman doctor sails to the Civil War-ravaged South, braving battles and bigotry to treat wounded black soldiers and run integrated schools. But Esther Hill Hawks might have remained a "forgotten heroine" if her diaries had not been rescued from a pile of trash, the historian who edited them said. "I think she's enormously significant," said Dr.

Gerald Schwartz, an associate professor of history at Western Carolina University in Cullowhee, about 150 miles west of Charlotte. "She deserves to be as widely known as Clara Barton and Susan B. Anthony." Schwartz worked on the diaries for eight years, after they had gathered dust in a Massachusetts attic for more than a century. The 301-page book, entitled "A Woman Doctor's Civil War: Esther Hill Hawks' Diary," is being published by the University of South Carolina Press. Hawks, a white abolitionist, was an 1857 graduate of the New England Female Medical Col television EACH PC.

The Spanish-language station, which combines Tex-Mex music and international contemporary hits, will continue to operate with 10,000 watts of daytime power but will expand to the nighttime with 1,000 watts. The station, which has broadcast a non-directional signal, will begin separate day and night directional patterns. The station's new transmitter site in far East El Paso will enable it to be heard as far away as New Mexico, Arizona and northern Mexico. A new Spanish station, owned by Fina Broadcasting and operated by veteran Southwest broadcaster John S.

Chavez, is expected to go on the air by late July or August and will assume the 1060 frequency being vacated by KAMA. Call letters have not been approved yet by the Federal Communications Commission for Chavez's new station. Chavez said he still is looking for staff for his station.

stream and built bridges and wooden buildings for old Moscow. The cooperation was incredible," Agoglia said. "We found out one thing they needed was chainsaws, so we brought them in and gave them to the crew." A few scenes that could not be done in the Soviet Union, such as Peter learning to sail, were filmed in Austria. Agoglia said the finished film will be offered to the Soviets after it is edited. "Will they accept it?" he said.

"I don't know. They've already produced four movies on Peter the Great." The series is based on the book by Robert Massie. Agoglia said he didn't think NBC would have tackled the project without the cooperation of the Soviets. The production's principal contact with the Soviets was through Sovinfilm. "They set us up in Gorky Studios in Moscow and coordinated the filming in Leningrad and Suzdal," Agoglia said.

"Some of the things we photographed in Leningrad were beyond belief. There was a former merchant's house that had a small opera house built inside it." Agoglia said that although the cooperation was splendid, he had to assume the U.S. citizens were watched. "But it didn't make us uncomfortable, because we weren't doing anything unusual," he said. LOS ANGELES (AP) When a television production crew filmed the first U.S.

-produced dramatic show in the Soviet Union, they burned down Moscow. And the Red Army helped them do it. It was all for "Peter the Great," an NBC miniseries based on the life of the 17th-century ruler who made Russia a world power. Maximilian Schell stars in the title role. NBC may show it as early as next February, probably at nine or 10 hours.

In all, the cast and crew from NBC Productions spent 33 weeks filming in the Soviet Union. "I believe it will be as unique as executive vice president of NBC Productions John Agoglia said. "Picture this: we're in a birch forest at 7 or 8 in the morning. There is snow on the ground. Marvin Chomsky (the director) calls action, and out of the woods come 100 soldiers on horseback and another 100 on foot.

They're all in costumes of the period. Mist is rising from the ground. How could you possibly do this anywhere else? "Russia wanted desperately to exhibit to the Western world that it could sustain a production of this size. They didn't have script approval, although they did read the script. They made some comment about the historical accuracy." Agoglia said the logistics of the production "were incredible." "We brought 240 people into "The Russian army dammed a stream and built bridges and wooden buildings tor old Moscow.

"We even brought a catering truck from Los Angeles. We had to have a steady supply of hot food and soups available because of the extreme cold, and there was no such thing in Russia.

I think the truck drew more attention than anything else." The production was a mix of nationalities: U.S., British, German, Italian and Soviet. Several major roles were played by Soviet actors. The first assistant director, production designer, art director and costume designer were Soviet. "Moscow" of 200 years ago was built of timbers by the Red Army at Suzdal, a town north of the real Moscow.
