I found the most reliable Rev War death & casualty statistics--with comparisons
to specific figures for the Civil War and other American wars-- in Howard H.
Peckham, The Toll of Independence: Engagements and Battle Casualties of the
American Revolution (Chicago, 1974), 131-133, and John W. Shy, “The Legacy of
the American Revolutionary War,” in his A People Numerous and Armed: Reflections
on the Military Struggle for American Independence (Ann Arbor, 1990), 250-257.
I didn't make notes on the Civil War because I'm writing about an earlier
period, but I expect these essays by Peckham and Shy will either provide the
information you want or lead you to a source that does.
