Ingersoll Lockwood was born into a family of lawyers in New York in 1841. Ingersoll was trained in law and intended to start a practice, but he became the youngest member of a US delegation when he was appointed Consul to the Kingdom of Hanover by the Lincoln Administration. He started a law firm with his brother after, and during this time, he began to write. He had the most success with his children's novels, including Baron Trump's Marvellous Underground Journey. Lockwood wrote until his death in 1918. Before Ingersoll Lockwood wrote children's books, he worked on political satire, something that is evident throughout the storytelling in Baron Trump's Marvellous Underground Journey. |
