1 | 1900 or, The last President | Ingersoll Lockwood |
Ingersoll Lockwood (1841-1918) was a New York attorney, diplomat and lecturer who wrote children's books, satire, and poetry. 1900 or, The last President is a dystopian, alternative history book which was published in 1896 and ostensibly involves events of a few years later - the 1898 election that put William Jennings Bryan in power and led to civic unrest. As a work of political satire, the narrative deplores the rise of socialism and populism in its dystopian vision of the future. |
