There is an improvement over the true southern battleground

It is a pleasure to commend the stirring war pictures made by this company, such as the two-reel offering given here. It would be a captious critic who would quarrel with the California setting for these tense, vivid scenes, though the surroundings are not historically accurate. But there is such a wealth of scenic detail, careful costuming and splendid acting, that if anything there is an improvement over the true southern battleground. This film reveals tremendous distances, with files of soldiers sharply outlined against the sky, bursting bombs, and all the paraphernalia of actual warfare. Even the horses fall and lie struggling as though trained to the work. The plot is interesting and well handled by the principals. A fine offering. - The Moving Picture World, December 14, 1912
