| Army and Empire: British Soldiers on the American Frontier, 1758–1775. By Michael N. McConnell. (Lincoln: University of Nebraska Press, 2004. xx, 211 pp. $49.95, isbn 0-8032-3233-0.)

| In this follow-up to A Country Between: The Upper Ohio Valley and Its Peoples (1992), Michael N. McConnell moves away from ethnohistory to study the experiences of British soldiers occupying frontier garrisons in North America between the end of the Seven Years' War and the start of the American Revolution. It is a worthy pursuit, given that these thin garrisons endured the daunting task of keeping a fragile peace between Native populations determined to maintain their territories and increasingly aggressive American colonists bent on settling the same lands. |
