Many of the dead Union soldiers were buried in trenches, with a crude wooden marker with the soldiers, name outfit wriiten on it for later identification. The dead Confederates were simply buried in mass graves by the federals. The new Museum at Gettysburg has a large map at the end of the tour. This map locates where they buried men and horses just after the battle. Some symbols represent 10 graves or such. These bodies were moved at a later date, but they had to bury them as soon as possible to avoid diseases.
