About the author
Ingersoll Lockwood (1841–1918) was an American lawyer and writer, known predominantly for his children's books featuring the character 'Baron Trump,' as well as his novel, 'The Last President.' Lockwood's literary contributions are often overshadowed by contemporary fascination with coincidental connections to the 45th President of the United States, Donald Trump. Delving into Lockwood's works, it becomes evident that his narrative style combined elements of fantasy, science fiction, and social satire, embodying the speculative spirit of his times. 'The Greatest Works of Ingersoll Lockwood' encompasses a collection of his most significant publications, thereby offering an insight into the eclectic and prophetic imagination of an author whose creations transcended the mere fabric of his era. While Lockwood might not have been celebrated as a literary titan in his time, the resurgence of interest in his books has led to a reevaluation of his contributions to the realm of speculative fiction. His works resonate with a certain timeless intrigue, which continues to captivate readers and scholars alike.
