The total causalities for the three days of combat was about 51,000. Of that number approximately 3100 Union soldiers and 3900 Confederate soldiers were killed outright on the battle field. (Livermore, Numbers and Losses of the Civil War). The rest were wounded. Another 10,000 from both sides were captured. The breakdown per day is problematic given the confusion of the battle. The true count will never be known. As late as 2005 skeletal remains were still being found in the Culps Hill Area.
Due to poor record keeping and the destruction wrought by the battle, it is difficult to pinpoint exactly how many deaths occurred during the Battle of Gettysburg. Historians estimate the total number of casualties to be between forty-six and fifty-one thousand soldiers. It ranks as the thirty-first deadliest battle in world history.
Record keeping was the least of the problems the Confederate Army faced in the Civil War. As such, the best estimates of total casualties range from 41,000 to 52,000. Union casualties were 23,055 (3,155 killed, 14,531 wounded, 5,369 captured or missing)
.
Confederate casualties are less precise. Many authors have referred to as many as 28,000 Confederate casualties,
and Busey and Martin's more recent 2005 work,
Regimental Strengths and Losses at Gettysburg, documents 23,231 (4,708 killed, 12,693 wounded, 5,830 captured or missing).
Nearly a third of Confederate General Robert E. Lee's officers were killed, wounded, or captured.
The casualties for both sides during the entire campaign were 57,225.
51,112 casualties (23,049 Union and 28,063 Confederate) - that includes dead, wounded, and missing.
Actual dead is believed to be around 7000.
11,000 men died on each day. making a total of 33,000 men who died in the battle.
