Total deaths
http://www.army.mil/gettysburg/statistics/statistics.html

Upon further review that must in fact be approximate total casualties.

The number for total deaths seems to converge around SEVEN THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED.

I stand corrected.

Skipped the usual Wiki source; my son the history teacher says ‘a Wiki source is an automatic F’.

Only because it's just to d*rn easy to find basic data there, so people don't get into endless arguments over disputed "facts".
And what's the fun of that?
Why not instead keep everybody ignorant, or guessing, or searching through highly partisan sites for conflicting data?

Then the real experts, those history professors, can step in and pronounce judgment on which interpretations they consider "correct".
Mustn't let the peasants get too smart, you know... ;-)
