The exact death toll from the Gettysburg conflict will never be known. The most trusted estimates are at least 3,155 Union and perhaps 4,000 or more Confederate. Nearly all Union deaths were recorded but people who died after the fight from wounds might be missed. In the Southern Army, some units were so torn up that there were no functioning officers to report casualties. Estimates of 3000, 4000, 4700, and even more are reasonable. Some state records were so completely in chaos that (for example) Alabama reports fewer than 1000 dead for the whole war; we know that the 15th Alabama men were nearly all killed or captured at Gettysburg. The Southern numbers might be significantly higher but there is no way to be certain. Some died in the multi-day ambulance journey to and across the Potomac River back to Virginia but there is little note of them.
