Jan Cleere is the author of five historical nonfiction books, four of them published by TwoDot Books, including More Than Petticoats: Remarkable Nevada Women, which landed her on the Roll of Honor of the Nevada Women’s History Project and a finalist for the Women Writing the West WILLA Award. Her lectures on early Arizona women who had an impact on the territory and the state, along with her monthly newspaper column, “Western Women,” have made her one of the foremost authorities on early Arizona women. She lives in Oro Valley, Arizona.
Military Wives [in Arizona Territory] powerfully shows the devotion, duty, creativity and grit of women who chose to share life on the frontier with their husbands. It provides a valuable and vivid window into life during a critical period in our history. I would recommend this book to readers who enjoy authentic, first-person history, and those with particular interest in women's history and frontier military history.
