When North and South Met (1911)
The battle of Manassas Junction has gone down in history as most remarkable in many respects. In the first of the two great battles, both sides were new to the terrors of war and the flame of conflict, yet never was struggle more gallantly maintained nor carried on with more martial ardor. But in that first great scene of slaughter, something terrible happened. The Northern troops, right in the flush of victory, were stampeded like sheep, were driven across Bull's Run, on through Centerville and into the city of Washington. The battle has gone down in history as Bull's Run: it was dubbed facetiously by a French writer as Cow's Run. In this film story, Harry Hilton is a participant on this famous field where so many deeds of daring and heroism took place. Harry was no exception in this respect for at the risk of his own life, he saved that of a gallant lieutenant, and these two became fast friends forever more. But after many terrible encounters, Harry himself was mortally wounded on this bloody field of Chantilly; and the fortunes of war had so ordained that his last dying breath was gasped forth on the bosom of that man whose life he had saved at the beginning of the great strife. And into the keeping of this brave lieutenant Harry gave letters and keepsakes for his precious mother and sister up in the North. And then, when the war ended, the lieutenant came. Grace Hilton imaged her brother in the eyes of the handsome southern officer, and the love that had grown in his bosom for the dead youth, was now flamed into a passion for the sister, who was pure and holy.
