A good Civil War time story with pretty well maintained suspense, leading up to a climax in and after a battle up and down a street of a country town. This battle is very interesting. It is opened by a small battery of old smooth bore cannon in action. These are first captured, then, after Dan McCool. a major in the C.S. Army, but not known to the citizen soldiers, because he is on a secret, special mission, takes command, the Union forces are driven back. The acting of the romantic story is dignified and sensible. Beside these qualities, the picture has to commend it, pretty girls, war time costumes, courtly manners and well photographed scenes. The hero is McCool; the villain is a traitor who has been elected captain of the home guard. There's an interesting spy part. - The Moving Picture World, May 25, 1912
