Army and Empire: British Soldiers on the American Frontier 1758-1775

From the back cover:

"The end of the Seven Years' War found Britain's professional army in American facing new and unfamiliar responsibilities. In addition to occupying the recently conquered French settlements in Canada, redcoats were ordered into the trans-Appalachian west, into the little-known and much disputed territories that lay between British, French, and Spanish America. There the soldiers found themselves serving as occupiers, police, and diplomats in a vast territory marked by extreme climatic variation - a world decidedly different from Britain or the settled American colonies."
