Baron Trump’s Marvellous Underground Journey by Ingersoll Lockwood. The Baron Trump novels are two children's novels written in 1889 and 1893 by the American author and lawyer Ingersoll Lockwood. Lockwood published the first novel, Travels and adventures of Little Baron Trump and his wonderful dog Bulger, in 1889, and its sequel, Baron Trump's Marvelous Underground Journey, in 1893. In July 2017, the books were rediscovered by Internet forum users, and then the media, who pointed out similarities between the protagonist and U.S. President Donald Trump, whose son is named Barron Trump. Jaime Fuller wrote in Politico that Baron Trump is "precocious, restless, and prone to get in trouble", often mentions his massive brain, and has a personalized insult for most people he meets. Chris Riotta noted in Newsweek that Baron Trump's adventures begin in Russia. Riotta also mentioned another book of Ingersoll's, 1900; or, The Last President, in which New York City is riven by protests following the shock victory of a populist candidate in the 1896 presidential election who brings on the downfall of the American republic. The novels recount the adventures of the German boy Wilhelm Heinrich Sebastian Von Troomp, who goes by "Baron Trump", as he discovers weird underground civilizations, offends the natives, flees from his entanglements with local women, and repeats this pattern until arriving back home at Castle Trump. The novels were part of a trend in American children's literature that responded to the demand for fantastic adventure stories triggered by Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland (1865). They were however indifferently received and did not enter the canon of children's literature. An 1891 reviewer wrote about one of Lockwood's novels: "The author labors through three hundred pages of fantastic and grotesque narrative, now and then striking a spark of wit; but the sparks emit little light and no warmth, and one has to fumble for the story."

“A capital story, free from namby-pambyness, full of fun, and quite free from any trace of ... one day-being-President morality. We cordially commend it.” - The Church Review, 1889“One of the jolliest and most rollicking stories ... full of marvel, mystery, and adventure ... at once fascinating and wholesome.” -Public Opinion, 1889“Boggles the mind....” - Huffington Post“Well received and so heartily enjoyed by old and young alike.” - Universalist Quarterly, 1891In the wide range of modern literature it would be difficult to find a volume of adventure which would surpass Ingersoll Lookwood's 1890 book “Travels and Adventures of Little Baron Trump and His Wonderful Dog Bulger.” You will be awed by the presentations of the wonders of travel, and of the deeds of the valiant heroes—the pictures of the brightest fancy—who trumpet their bravery and daring after the laughable and amusing —even superlatively imaginative—style of the famous Baron Munchausen. As an inimitable and unlimited story-teller, holding fast to some phases of truth, and blending with them the highest flights of hyperbolic expression, the author may rest content that the book outrivals Munchausen in the way of marvellous stories.Group together the hitherto unrivalled and astounding discoveries and adventures of Jules Verne; then gather all of Rider Haggard's bewitching and bewildering stories, with Baron Munchausen thrown in, and the "Little Baron Trump" will be the trump of the lot, and if you will follow him with his Wonderful Dog Bulger, he will take you along a path of narrative which will actually force you into a condition of mental hilarity and extravagant wonderment. The little baron is a remarkably child. He quickly outstrips all his tutors, and starts out, at the early age of eight, with his dog Bulger, on a tour to the Southern Seas. Here he meets with a remarkable people called the “Windeaters," and has some most astonishing and amusing adventures. The author, Ingersoll Lockwood (1841–1918), was an American lawyer and writer. As a writer, he is particularly known today for his Baron Trump children's novels. However, he wrote other children's novels, as well as the utopian novel, The Last President, a play, and several non-fiction works. He wrote some of his non-fiction under the pseudonym Irwin Longman.Like his father and uncles, Ingersoll Lockwood also trained as a lawyer, although his first position was as a diplomat. In 1862 he was appointed Consul to the Kingdom of Hanover by Abraham Lincoln. At the time he was the youngest member of the US consular force and served in that post for four years. On his return he established a legal practice in New York City with his older brother Henry.Other books by Lockwood include:1900 or The Last President.

This little booklet was penned at the end of the 19th century, and ostensibly involves events mere years later. A work of political satire, it chastises the rise of socialism and populism, inferring their fictional rise here as disastrous and leading to chaos.It is of note here that this work, along with others by Lockwood, appear to prognosticate the current political climate of the United States and West at large- and for an apparent religious Catholic of his era, it is not altogether impossible that Lockwood- wittingly or unwittingly- tapped into some mystic forces. Regardless, it is an interesting little political story from its time and is reflective of some of the social ideologies and movements of the age.

That was a terrible night for the great City of New York—-the night of Tuesday, November 3rd, 1896. The city staggered under the blow like a huge ocean liner which plunges, full speed, with terrific crash into a mighty iceberg, and recoils shattered and trembling like an aspen. The people were gathered, light-hearted and confident, at the evening meal, when the news burst upon them. It was like a thunder bolt out of an azure sky: “ Altgeld holds Illinois hard and fast in the Democratic line. This elects Bryan President of the United States!" Strange to say, the people in the upper portion of the city made no movement to rush out of their houses and collect in the public squares, although the night was clear and beautiful. They sat as if paralyzed with a nameless dread, and when they con versed it was with bated breath and throbbing hearts. In less than half an hour, mounted policemen dashed through the streets calling out: “Keep within your houses; close your doors and barricade them. The entire East side is in a state of uproar. Mobs of vast size are organizing under the lead of Anarchists and Socialists, and threaten to plunder and despoil the houses of the rich who have wronged and oppressed them for so many years. Keep within doors. Extinguish all lights.” - Taken from "1900 Or, The Last President" written by Ingersoll Lockwood

Ingersoll Lockwood’s two books, Baron Trump’s Marvellous Underground Journey & 1900; Or, The Last President, have seen a resurgence in interest since Donald Trump’s election to President of the United States in 2016. Both books were written before the turn of the 20th Century, but both contain eerie similarities with modern day political events. For the first time, both works are presented in a single volume so readers can decipher for themselves whether Lockwood’s words were a telling of things to come, or just a curious coincidence of American literature.Lockwood’s Baron Trump character shares a similar name to President Donald Trump’s youngest son Barron Trump. Baron, in the novels written by Lockwood, is a wealthy young prince living in “Castle Trump.” He takes on magical adventures in a series of stories after Don, the “master of masters,” shows him a secret portal in Russia which leads to various enchanted worlds Baron goes on to explore.In 1900; Or, The Last President, Ingersoll Lockwood paints the picture of a politically charged New York City, where a political outsider has overcome stiff opposition to be elected President of the United States. Mob rule threatens, and marching protests rove up and down Fifth Avenue. The scene is an uncanny reflection of what happened as Donald Trump spent his days as President Elect holed up in Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue as he awaited his inauguration.

In Ingersoll Lockwood's 1900; Or, The Last President, a politically charged New York City is on edge after a political outsider overcomes stiff opposition to be elected President of the United States. Mob rule threatens, and marching protests rove up and down Fifth Avenue searching for symbols of wealth to destroy. Lockwood uses this setting to critique the socialist and collectivist mentality of his era and illustrate the inherent danger of the crowd. The story is a small and relatively unknown political satire from the late 19th century, which found new popularity after the election of Donald Trump in 2016.

This collection unites Ingersoll Lockwood's classic Baron Trump adventure stories in one volume. Filled with exotic flights of fancy, the Baron Trump tales feature the titular character - a wealthy boy who lives in Trump Castle. His actual name is Wilhelm Heinrich Sebastian Von Troomp, but for the sake of simplicity he goes by his title of Baron Trump. The young fellow embarks on time travelling adventures through human history. Through his travels, he meets societies of people and tribes from long ago, picking up their language and social customs. Accompanied by his faithful and protective companion hound Bulger, the young Baron navigates a variety of adventures and surmounts many obstacles. The final book discusses the rise of a US President and has been variously described as coincidental or prescient of the 21st century political climate. Set in an America torn by division, there are references to a hotel on Fifth Avenue in New York, and an election of an outsider candidate ensuing amid chaos.
