About the Author

Ingersoll Lockwood (1841-1918) was an American lawyer, diplomat, and author whose imaginative works blended political satire, adventure, and speculative fiction, often drawing from the social anxieties of the Gilded Age. Born in Ossining, New York, he pursued a career in law before serving as U.S. Consul to the Kingdom of Hanover and the Electorate of Hesse, experiences that enriched his storytelling with global perspectives. Lockwood's writing gained renewed attention in the modern era for its prescient themes, particularly in his Baron Trump series, which follows the fantastical journeys of a young protagonist through hidden worlds and underground realms. His novella 1900: Or, The Last President vividly captures the turmoil of electoral politics, economic upheaval, and populist fervor, offering a timeless reflection on power and societal change. A prolific writer, Lockwood's legacy endures as a bridge between 19th-century literature and contemporary intrigue.
