4. JOHN BARTLESON JR. passed away October 16, 2016 from multiple health complications with his adult children and several grandchildren by
his side.
More than an acknowledged historian, civil war ordnance collector, author, and illustrator, he was an Eagle Scout, Scout Master, and served a
thirty year distinguished career in the U.S. Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) program, rising from the top enlisted rank to retire as Chief
Warrant Officer (CWO) 4 with the following distinctions:
• First Navy EOD Officer competitively selected to serve as Exchange Officer to the UK Defense EOD School (1973-75).
• Plank Owner NEOD Training & Evaluation Unit 2, Ft. Story, VA (1980-84)
• Held esteemed title, “Navy EOD Master Blaster” (a distinction reserved for the active duty service person having longest consecutive
service time in the Navy’s EOD program.)
As a subject matter expert and historian, he is acknowledged in many Civil War Ordnance publications both in the U.S. and the U.K., including
some non-fiction books, and has been featured several times in Artilleryman Magazine.
In his retirement, he served as the first Navy EOD Historian (eleven years), researching and writing the History of U.S. Navy EOD creation to
1992, also writing several articles for the Disposaleer, a publication of the non-profit Naval EOD Association.
On behalf of my sisters, Ann and Pat, and brother Mike, and as his eldest son and fellow retired Air Force EOD Superintendent, we dedicate this
guide on behalf of our father, a true renaissance man, so others may benefit from his work and dedicated life of community and public service.
—John D. Bartleson III

6. About the Illustrator
John D. Bartleson Jr., CWO 4, USN (1936–2016)
The 775 digital illustrations of Civil War projectiles and fuzes presented in this field guide were produced by
John D. Bartleson Jr. between 2012–2014 from hand drawings and specification plates obtained from multiple
sources to include the Royal Laboratories (circa 1865).
These detailed illustrations were produced by John for the intended purpose of providing current and future
collectors, historians, students, construction workers, law enforcement, Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD)
technicians and artillerymen an additional reference to consult to positively identify these relics’ using multiple
sources. As with the original 1972 “Civil War Explosive Ordnance 1861–1865” publication authored by John, this
illustrative guide, its publisher, technical writer, and other contributors disclaim any responsibility for the safety
of anyone who might attempt hazardous work on explosive ordnance using this document as a guide. The detailed
sectional drawings presented are to inform readers of ordnance type-by-function and internal fuze functioning
design.
John a.k.a. “Bart” enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1954 and retired in December 1984 as the outgoing EOD Master
Blaster with 27 continuous years service in EOD. Having enlisted in the Navy as a Mineman in 1954 he graduated
Underwater Swim School in 1956 before graduating EOD School in 1957. From John’s incomplete autobiography
we know that his first EOD duty assignment was with EOD Unit 2 in Charleston S.C., where his first EOD operation
was performing sub-surface range clearance duties at Saddle Bunch Keys, FL. No doubt this is where John mastered
the use of early metal/ordnance detection equipment that would later benefit his lifelong hobby of collecting Civil
War Ordnance. His autobiography also states, “… life around the unit was fairly active with local ordnance pick-
ups consisting mainly of Civil War projectiles.” Thus his initial research was not only of a personal nature but as
a matter of survival at a time when there were few to no publications available for EOD technicians on Civil War
Ordnance. During John’s distinguished thirty-year naval career he also served:
• EOD Technical Center, Indian Head, MD. (1960–1963)*
• EOD Unit 2, Charleston S.C. (1964–1967)
• EOD Exchange Officer to Defense EOD School, UK (1973–1975)
• Assistant Training Officer, Naval EOD School (1975–1978)
• Training Officer, Command EOD Group Two (1978–1980)
• EOD Training & Evaluation Unit 2, Ft. Story VA. (1980–1984)
Following his retirement John voluntarily served as the Naval EOD Historian (1984–1994). In this capacity he published the “History [creation] of U.S.
Navy Bomb Disposal [EOD],” in 1992 and the “History of U.S. Navy Mine Disposal” in 1995. His digital illustrations have been featured in the Artilleryman
Magazine and with permission by fellow authors of other Civil War Ordnance publications. Before his passing John was a regular contributor to several
websites including bulletandshell.com and artillerymanmagazine.com.
John is survived by his children Ann, Pat, John III, Mike, and Lori as well as many family members. John’s friend, Jack W. Melton, as well as Tom Crawford
and Chuck Veit, have graciously contributed their time and many talents producing this publication so that future generations may benefit from John’s
experience and many hours of meticulous drawing that reveal details that might otherwise be unobserved.
*Years not specifically mentioned reflect duty time aboard surface vessels.

8. Glossary
Anvil (abutting plug, safety cap, cover)
That portion of a percussion fuze that provides forward closure of the fuze and a hard surface for the percussion cap to strike.
Cap (top hat)
A musket percussion cap used in artillery percussion fuzes and containing fulminate of mercury comparable in intensity to a modern shot gun primer.
Case Shot
A projectile with thin walls, containing lead or iron balls cast in a matrix of sulphur or pitch, and having a small black powder bursting charge, centrally located.
Combination Fuze
A combination fuze functions by either impact with the target or by time giving an aerial burst. The time element will be initiated at discharge from the gun.
Concussion Fuze
A concussion fuze functions by shock of gun discharge or by the shock of impact. Applicable to spherical projectiles.
Nipple
A mounting teat for the percussion cap. Usually screwed or molded into the striker.
Percussion Fuze
A percussion fuze functions by the striking of some particular point of the projectile, normally' the nose, against an object, as in rifled projectiles.
Shell
A projectile with medium to thick wall construction and filled with black powder. Did not contain fragments as in the case shot.
Sabot (rotating band, obturator)
A band of material which engages rifling of gun tube and imparts rotation to the projectile and provides obturation for the propellant gases. Can be found
made of lead, copper, brass, soft iron, papier-mâché, tin and greased canvas combination, or even greased rope.
Striker (nipple carrier, plunger)
The movable weight found in percussion fuzes that utilizes the force of impact inertia to strike the percussion cap against the anvil. Usually made of steel,
lead, or lead with a brass jacket. The striker contains a minute amount of rifle powder to communicate the flash from the percussion cap to the main filler
of the projectile.
Solid Shot
A smoothbore or rifled projectile cast of solid steel and containing no explosives.
