Statistical Report on the 115th Pennsylvania

The statistics below were compiled from the individual soldiers' listings
in Samuel Bates, History of the Pennsylvania Volunteers, written between 1869 and 1871.

The records Bates was working from were incomplete.  Nearly half of the regiment
is listed by Bates as "not accounted for."  Thus most of the numbers in this chart
are lower than the real numbers would be.  The numbers of dead
and wounded are fewer than listings of casualties from individual battles.  For instance, the
Official Records show that the regiment sustained 111 casualties at Chancellorsville, while Bates
lists a total of only 63.  As another example, my own ancestor, Private Richard Gennett,
 was wounded at Gettysburg and stayed in hospitals for the duration of the war, but the fact of his wound
is not reflected in Bates.
