Title
The British Garrison at Quebec, 1759-1871
Abstract
What would life as a member of the British Garrison during the eighty-year occupation of Quebec city involve? What would be the implications of living alongside the civilian residents in this fashion for such a lengthy period? The author answers these questions by providing an in-depth discussion of the life and times of these British soldiers. His examination of their way of life includes issues of class distinction between officers and non-commissioned personnel, military organization, leisure activities and the resulting impact of the garrison's presence in the city.
