The hard-scrabble of Elm Island
A children's story by Elijah Kellogg, published in Boston by Lee and Shepard in 1871 as part of his Elm Island series. The pictures are black-and-white wood engravings, and several are rotated sideways on the page. They show a bear climbing a tree while two boys aim rifles from below, a man struggling with a bear, and a shoreline with sailing ships, a useful reference for rustic woodland and frontier adventure scenes.
