Synopsis

Edison summary: Soldiers are scouting through the thick underbrush. "Forward by rushes," comes the order, and up the hill they go, rushing, firing and throwing themselves behind each sheltering clump of bushes. Answering shots come from the block-house and the ranks wither. A struggle on the hill-top, and victory! Our flag is there to stay! Has created greatest enthusiasm.
       Selig summary: One of the greatest war films ever placed upon the market. The enemy is seen crouching in the underbrush at the foot of a steep hill. Suddenly our own soldier boys appear under the order "forward by rushes" and gradually charge up the hill. The most realistic part of the subject is the explosion of bombs thrown by the enemy.
