Sam,
According to "Civil War Trivia and Fact Book" by Webb Garrison, p. 166, Federal numbers killed or mortally wounded in battle were 110,100; numbers died of disease were 224,580. For the Confederates, the numbers were 94,000 killed or mortally wounded in battle; 164,000 died of disease.

There were nearly 30,000 casualties for one day's fight on one day at Sharpsburg/Antietam. (p. 144) 51,112 combined dead, wounded, or missing for the two armies at Gettysburg. (p. 152) At the Battle of Franklin, Tenn., there were 6,000 Confederate loses and more than 2,000 Union losses (p. 161) At Cold Harbor, at least 6,800 Federals died in less than 10 MINUTES! (p. 161) The estimated number of prisoners of war estimated to have died were 23,000 Federal prisoners and more than 26,000 Confederate prisoners (p. 163).

On p. 154 it says there were 200,000 blacks eventually served in the Union army & navy. You had an article on this a while back. I couldn't find the figures then.

This is a fascinating book chocked full of statistics about the War Between the States. Just don't care for its title. :-)

I just grabbed the numbers from that huys site becasue it was the only on eI found quicly that listed POW deaths. I'll have to go look up the numbers in some of my reference books.

Have to agree the word "trivia" doesn't sound very well used in a book on the War Between the States.
