Civil War Single Breasted Frock Coat

 

Here is proof that Majors (and possibly Lt. Colonels) wore the incorrect, non-regulation coat or the single breasted frock coat rather than the regulation double breasted coats. i.e. one of Norman Smith's images showed him (as a Major-Surgeon) wearing a single row (single breasted) coat.

Regarding Surgeon Norman Smith, 6th Mass Vols.:  Norman Smith surgical set
 
"Some 36 wearied, sick, wounded soldiers were thrown upon his surgical skill and care by the violence of that passage (thru Baltimore streets), while 86 years before, his wife's grandfather, Jonas Brown, was wounded at The Bridge (Concord, Mass, and bleeding, chased the enemy 9 miles."
