Review Quotes:
'Taken together, all of these essays make a very valuable contribution to the growing historiography that stresses the integrated nature of military and civilian life in the eighteenth century. It is an important reminder to social historians of the gains to be made by integrating soldiers and the military into their research.'
Jennine Hurl-Eamon, Journal of Canadian History
