The uniform worn by Michael Craig appears to be a dress uniform not worn by Union officers in the field. Unless he was taken prisoner at a Washington social event, it would be highly unlikely that an officer in the engineers would have been wearing such a uniform when captured. In addition, the epaulettes on his shoulders are those of an enlisted man; officer epaulettes have gold fringes hanging down. If he was captured in the field he would be wearing shoulder straps showing his rank, two bars.
