Since the number of dead at Gettysburg was approximately 7058, Union AND Confederate there is NO WAY they could have brought back 18,000 from Gettysburg. Get your facts straight.

Here is an extract from: http://www.hollywoodcemetery.org/about/our-history

1866 – The Hollywood Ladies Memorial Association was founded to care for the graves of Confederate soldiers. The association reinterred an estimated 7,000 bodies from the Gettysburg battlefield to Hollywood Cemetery.
1869 – The Pyramid, a monument dedicated to the Confederate soldiers buried at Hollywood, was erected due largely to the efforts of the Hollywood Ladies Memorial Association.
1872-1873 – Confederate dead from the battle of Gettysburg were reinterred in Hollywood Cemetery in six shipments, arriving by steamship. The bodies were buried on a small rise in the Soldiers’ Section, now known as Gettysburg Hill.

Fact #2: The First Day’s battle was a much larger engagement than is generally portrayed.

The first day’s fighting (at McPherson’s Ridge, Oak Hill, Oak Ridge, Seminary Ridge, Barlow’s Knoll and in and around the town) involved some 50,000 soldiers of which roughly 15,500 were killed, wounded, captured or missing. The first day in itself ranks as the 12th bloodiest battle of the Civil War—with more casualties than the battles of Bull Run and Franklin combined.

Fact #3: The Second Day’s Battle was the largest and costliest of the three days.

The second day’s fighting (at Devil’s Den, Little Round Top, the Wheatfield, the Peach Orchard, Cemetery Ridge, Trostle’s Farm, Culp’s Hill and Cemetery Hill) involved at least 100,000 soldiers of which roughly 20,000 were killed, wounded, captured or missing. The second day in itself ranks as the 10th bloodiest battle of the Civil War—with far more casualties than the much larger Battle of Fredericksburg.
