Ingersoll Lockwood 
1900: Or; The Last President 

This near-future political satire about the election of a new president argues that socialism and populism will eventually give rise to chaos and disaster. Authored by Ingersoll Lockwood-around whom conspiracy theories concerning the sci-fi/fantasy character Baron Trump now abound-1900; or, The Last President is notable for both its clairvoyance and its reflection on the social movements and political climate of its time.

Ingersoll Lockwood (1841-1918) was a New York attorney who wrote several children’s books as well as satire and nonfiction. Best known as the author of the Baron Trump series, he wrote in a style that mixed fantasy with young-reader-oriented science fiction-a style that anticipated and may have influenced L. Frank Baum’s Oz series.
