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.

Ingersoll Lockwood's patriotic and biographical stage drama takes place immediately before, during and amid the aftermath of the American War of Independence. The initial scenes take place in the household of George Washington. First through the words of his servants, we are introduced to the man who led the American rebellion against the British. Staking his prosperous life on the cause, Washington is shown to be a family man of noble spirit, immensely devoted to his proud mother and his doting wife, as well as the slaves who maintain his household. As the war commences, the harsh and bloody realities of skirmishes are matched with the resolve of Washington and his generals. In perhaps the most emotionally charged passages of the drama, Washington is informed of the betrayal of Benedict Arnold. Shocked, aghast, distraught and initially in denial at the treason of a friend he'd so trusted and admired, Washington steels his spirit to recognize the horrible truth.

An obscure masterpiece until recently, Ingersoll Lockwood's fin de siecle short story '1900; or, The Last President' was written in 1896 but uncannily describes the current political situation in America today. Indeed, many readers believe the author tapped into a mysterious force in the composition of his eerily clairvoyant tale. The futuristic fable outlines the rise of a populist president in "the fatal year of 1999," and extrapolates what the consequences of electing such a seemingly popular Commander-in-Chief might be.
