The episode eventually leads into the Battle of Fort Stedman, in which Orry, his cousin Charles, George and Billy Hazard all participate. With nothing else to do, Orry has no choice but to help the Confederacy defend Richmond, Virginia which is under siege from the Army of the Potomoc under Ulysses S. The latter continues her efforts to feed Charleston's poor by appealing to Union general William Tecumseh Sherman. This episode began with Orry Main hiring a former Pinkerton detective to find his missing wife, Madeline Fabray LaMotte Main. There is something about watching this particular production usually ends up as hard work for me.Įpisode Six of 'BOOK II' began at least a month after Episode Five ended. But with the 1986 production, I usually do. I have never done this with the other two miniseries - 'NORTH AND SOUTH: BOOK I' and 'HEAVEN AND HELL: NORTH AND SOUTH BOOK III'. I hate to say this, but whenever I watch 'NORTH AND SOUTH: BOOK II', I usually heave a sigh of relief after the last episode fades away.
