Modes of recognition and our obligations are the main ones , though we do not divulge anything that goes on behind close doors . There is really no secrets , everything can be found on the internet , the library and a bookstore . It's just you will not hear them from us .
Secrets of Freemasonry
ALL of the rituals, secrets, modes of recognition, etc. are all easily available on the internet, or in books. A couple of hours of research will make them all available to anyone who chooses to look them up.
The best kept secret in Masonry, is that there are no secrets.

re modes of recognition
I was reading in a history of the Civil War that Gen. Armisted, a confederate, was mortally wounded at, I believe, the battle of Gettysburg. It was said that he flashed a mason sign and a Union man came and carried him off the field. I am interested in knowing if that is a usual thing in wartime, or highly unusual?

There are many stories about brothers on opposing sides of an armed conflict helping one another out , giving special treatment and/or sparing their lives due to their masonic ties .
Masonry in wartime
There are many such cases. You should read 'House undivided', available from amazon.com it is the story of freemasonry during the american civil war. (or the war of yankee aggression).
In the POW camps in the civil war, the masons often sneaked food and medicine to imprisoned men. at a prison in Lake Erie, whenever a POW died, the local masonic lodge, attended to the burial, with masonic rites.
during a lull between a battle, sometimes masonic lodges met, under a flag of truce, with both Union and Confederate soldiers, meeting in lodge as brothers.

The Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of Pennsylvania Go here and click on the link "masonic Videos" Click the "friend to a friend" video. This will give you info on Gettysburg and the masons. Let me know what you thik!
That is definitely true! I think a lot of people have been taken in by Hollywood writers. I think the idea of a secret society gets away with people.
But of course! The idea of secret signals, ritual behind closed doors and mysterious goings on is so much more appealing. You can make up whatever you want to fill in the gaps!
