Book Review of Amazing Girls of Arizona: True
Stories of Young Pioneers
, by Walter Drew Hill
"Jan Cleere's collection of eleven fascinating real life accounts of early Arizona
girls . . .  offer(s) a view of southwestern history that is often overlooked:
childhood. Cleere writes with enthusiasm for her subjects, and consequently
she has succeeded in making these Arizona girls come alive. Each sketch is
adventure-intensive and interesting."

Book Review of Outlaw Tales of Arizona: True Stories of Arizona's Most
Famous Robbers, Rustlers, and Bandits
, by Bruce J. Dinges, Editor
"Jan Cleere recognizes a good story when she hears it, but she is skeptical
enough not always to accept it at face value. . . . Cleere's bibliography is a
handy guide to further reading and a testament to her own diligent research."

Book Review of More Than Petticoats: Remarkable Nevada Women, by
Bruce J. Dinges, Editor
"Her charmingly written book serves as both a tribute to the resourcefulness of
the human spirit and an invitation for further research into the lives of these,
and other, forgotten pioneer women."
