| Summary | "Lion Ben of Elm Island" by Elijah Kellogg is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the character Ben Rhines, who is portrayed as a strong and noble individual facing the challenges of life on a remote island.

It details the island's natural features, emphasizing its lush landscapes and the various wildlife inhabiting it. The narrative shifts to focus on the Rhines family, specifically on Ben as he prepares to take on responsibilities both at sea and at home. We learn of his love for Sally Hadlock and his desire to create a life for them together, leading him to consider purchasing Elm Island to build a home despite the challenges that come with it.
