A story of the South before and during the Civil War, in two reels. The first reel shows us a plantation on which the cruel master flogs his slaves, much to the disgust of his young son. The boy runs away and later appears as a Union officer. The fighting, in the second reel, is spirited and occurs in the open country and the woods. We feel that these scenes give us a glimpse of actual warfare. The story has a pathetic close; the father is killed, and the mother, who sits at the window with her candle burning, shoots her son by mistake. It is all done in a very convincing manner, and the production is a strong one of its type. - The Moving Picture World, April 5, 1913
