An obscure masterpiece until recently, Ingersoll Lockwood's fin de sicle short story 1900; or, The Last President uncannily describes the current political situation in America today. Indeed, many believe the author tapped into a mysterious force in the composition of his eerily clairvoyant tale - and in the writing of aseries of books about a young Baron Trump and his adventures in New York. The futuristic fable 1900 outlines the rise of a populist presidentand extrapolates what the consequences of electing such a seemingly popular Commander-in-Chief might be. *Includes annotations and images.
