Nelson’s Yankee Captain: The Life of Boston Loyalist Sir Benjamin Hallowell by Brian Elson, 2008, Formac Publishing of Halifax ISBN: 978-0-88780-751-0
http://www.formac.ca/formac/index.html then use the search engine (very stupid website, I can't see how they can sale a book!)
To my knowledge, the only biography of Ben Hallowell best known for his gift of Nelson's coffin after the Nile.
