Records in the Confederate War Records office were incomplete or missing. The total number of men in the Confederate Armies had been estimated at 600,000 to 700,000 by Gen. Marcus J. Wright and at about 600,000 by Gen. Early, Alexander H. Stephens, and Dr. Joseph Jones, surgeon-general of the United Confederate Veterans. These figures have been found to be too low and current estmates are around 1,300,000 based on names in the NARA.
