These century-old predictions are uncanny.
Too much like our present day, say some. Proof that time travel exists, say others.
Ingersoll Lockwood, himself a lawyer, wrote a pamphlet which predicted the rise of an outsider presidential candidate who took the presidency of our nation and ended it. Set in the late 1800's, it tells of a populist candidate who is elected with the platform to “undo the bad business of years of unholy union between barters and sellers of human toil and the law makers of the land.”
For some this is proof that Trump owns a time travel device and has been using it to influence our time line. And other conspiracy schemes have hatched.
The editor has sought out all the books by Ingersoll that have made the transition to our digital age. This collection also contains a short story about a lawyer and a will, close to Ingersoll's own life events.
For all we know, it may be just another coincidental set of entertaining fiction...
