Michael N. McConnell. Army and Empire: British Soldiers on the American Frontier, 1758–1775. (Studies in War, Society, and the Military.) Lincoln: University of Nebraska Press. 2004. Pp. xix, 211. $49.95.

Between 1758 and the outbreak of the American War for Independence in 1775, the British Army faced the unenviable task of garrisoning Great Britain's recently acquired empire on the North American frontier. Michael N. McConnell has taken the daily lives of the soldiers who found themselves stationed at the isolated outposts of the empire as his topic. Through an exploration of the redcoats' lives in the West—the Ohio and Illinois Countries, the upper Great Lakes region, the Lower Mississippi Valley, and West Florida—he argues that the British Army became thoroughly domesticated. Its network of military outposts evolved from armed garrisons to a collection of frontier settlements.
