1996. Busey, John W. These Honored Dead: The Union Casualties at Gettysburg. Longstreet House. Revised Second Edition. - A second edition of These Honored Dead: The Union Casualties at Gettysburg by John W. Busey, published by Longstreet House, Hightstown, New Jersey. This volume is an octavo, bound in blue publisher's cloth with gilt-stamped lettering to the front board and spine. The copyright page indicates this is a second edition, revised and expanded from the 1988 first edition. It is further identified on the title page as New Book No. 131. The work serves as a comprehensive record of Union casualties during the American Civil War Battle of Gettysburg, organized by state and unit. The text includes several black-and-white portrait plates, such as Major General John F. Reynolds and Major Philip J. Kearney, along with various battlefield illustrations and a table of contents detailing the contents by regimental state. The front flyleaf bears a handwritten inscription in black marker reading L.P.J. 8/14/08 GETTYS. and the initials L.P.F. written at the top edge. The title page features a central woodcut-style illustration of a burial scene with a wagon in the background. The blue cloth binding shows significant condition issues, specifically heavy and widespread white and gray spotting or foxing across the front board (photo 1), the rear board (photo 2), and the spine (photo 3). There is some minor shelf wear and rubbing to the corners and spine ends (photo 3). Internally, the pages appear clean and bright with no visible foxing or staining to the text blocks shown (photos 5, 8, 9, 10, 11). The binding remains secure. The front flyleaf contains permanent marker inscriptions (photo 4). No dust jacket is present.
