Another war drama in two reels, in which graphic warfare is mingled with a strong story interest. General Lee and Lincoln and his Cabinet are impersonated in the opening scenes. The hero, a union officer, is in the home of the heroine, where she conceals him. There is a fine complication of incidents, all very carefully worked out and which the observer follows breathlessly. The old slave saves the girl by saying he shot the slain officer. He is executed in consequence. The fighting is dramatic and well ordered, and the final scene a pathetic one. A very good release. - The Moving Picture World, April 5, 1913
