Orry and Book III

I`ve just bought book 1 and 2 on dvd, and while taking a break from watching them (I simply love them) a find out that there is a book 3... and when I read whats going on in it, it makes me feel sick... talk about being heart-broken. I have read the two books the first two series are made from, but not the rest of them.

So I have to ask: Does Orry really get killed in the book as well, or does this just happen in the series because of the fact that Swayze didnt want to participate (something I completely agree with him on).
Does anybody know this?

Thanks

Endre, heartbroken North & South enthusiast.

In the book, Orry gets already killed in the middle of "Love and War" (Book II). He dies in a battle during the civil war.

I believe Orry is killed by a Union soldier found in the woods after the war had ended only the Union soldier did not know the war was over and believed he was killing an enemy.

No, it was in the middle of the war. It was kinda like when Charles kills the guy reaching for his canteen, except, this guy reached for his gun.

It was actually towards the end of the war. 1864.
