Yes, Lt. Eliot is mentioned in the book. He is mentioned in an article taken from the Louisville Anzeiger (a German-language newspaper). He is quoted as saying August Willich had the bearing of a caged lion in captivity and he planned to bring General Richard W. Johnson up on charges for his neglect at the battle.
However,no charges were ever filed.
No information on the train ride to Libby Prison.
I am sure you wil enjoy the book that should be out by the end of the summer.
