This film tells a story of the War of the Rebellion in which love, hatred, courage and treachery are presented in sharp dramatic contrast. The opportunity for good action and facial display of the emotions is well taken care of by competent actors, and after the opening scene is over, sub-titles are hardly necessary to explain the story, as the action and staging are so convincing. In the house where we saw this picture, a lady sitting in front of us turned and said to her escort, after an exciting scene, "That villain deserved his, anyway." Such side remarks show that the spectators have their interest aroused. The general quality of the work in this film, save for a few minor technical faults, is so superior to the early work of the Centaur Company that it is obvious that the Film Import and Trading Company made no mistake in contracting for their whole output. - The Moving Picture World, July 31, 1909
