It is based on the play of the same name by Clyde Fitch that had starred Julia Marlowe at the turn of the century which in turn was taken from the real-life story of Barbara Fritchie.

The 1915 version, directed by Herbert Blaché, starred Mary Miles Minter and Anna Q. Nilsson.

[1][2] Lydia Knott, mother of director Hillyer and a well known character actress in her own right, appears quite prominently in this film as a member of the Frietchie family but for some reason she is uncredited.

Copies of Barbara Frietchie are held by Library and Archives Canada, UCLA Film and Television Archive, and George Eastman Museum Motion Picture Collection.
