An unpleasant ending for the story

A three reel war number, centering about the battle of Petersburg. The hero is engaged to Marion, but his rival, Jim, attempts to compromise him with an actress, and is at first successful. A number of letters are thrown on the screen in the course of the story, all of which were rather long and too finely written. The characterizations of Grant and Lee were hardly up to the standard. The capture and firing of the bridge were realistic, but the shooting of the negro mammy as a spy we thought an unpleasant ending for the story. The photography is very good. - The Moving Picture World, July 19, 1913
