All numbers in the Civil War are of necessity estimates, and exact precision will never be possible. That said, the best estimates are that Lee had 71,699 men in his army, and lost 4,708 killed, 12,693 wounded, and 5,830 captured or missing, for a total of 23,231. Through the entire campaign, from the time Lee's army left Virginia until it returned, total losses were around 27,000. Some of those listed as wounded at Gettysburg would have died later in hospitals, and many of the missing were also dead.
