       About Ingersoll Lockwood:

      Ingersoll Lockwood (1841-1918), born in Ossining, New York, was an American lawyer and fiction writer. His writings often mixed fantasy and science fiction, even at a time before the use of commonly adhered-to distinctions between these modes of the fantastic, in a way that anticipated L. Frank Baum’s Oz books. Lockwood’s sequence comprises The Travels and Adventures of Little Baron Trump and His Wonderful Dog Bulger (1890) and Baron Trump's Marvellous Underground Journey (1893), the latter being a fantastic voyage into the “hollow earth,” where the surreal domains of various peoples are found, including the Transparent Folk and the Rattlebrains. The Extraordinary Experiences of Little Captain Dopplekop on the Shores of Bubblehead (1892) and Wonderful Deeds and Doings of Little Giant Boab and His Talking Raven Tabib (1891), both of which are similar to the Baron Trump books, also involved fantastic voyages. Lockwood also published 1900: Or, the Last President (1896), a political satire.
