"Uncle Sam's" Cabins. A Story of American Life Looking Forward a Century - Benjamin Rush Davenport (The Mascot Publishing Company, 1895)
The novel begins in 1994 in a dystopia in which the military is used to control the poor and the poor are then enslaved. The U.S. produces very little that can be exported; an import tax supports the government and makes imported goods expensive. The U.S. has adopted primogeniture, and estates go to the eldest son. The solution, in about 2014, is to abolish serfdom, re-establish the original U.S. Constitution, and become a free trade nation.

Education is through technology, with knowledge passed electronically from the brain of the teacher to the brains of the pupils. Crime has been almost eliminated by having magistrates read everyone's brain regularly, and the few crimes of passion are treated in hospitals. Almost all domestic chores like cooking and dish washing have been fully automated with food delivery by aircraft. The women mess up, the country is run down, and men take back power and women return to the home. But the men mess up as badly.

The Lost Colony - James F. Raymond (b. 1826) (T.B. Peterson & Brothers, 1891)
Much of the novel is concerned with family life in the American South before the Civil War and about events during the war, but about halfway through the focus sporadically shifts to an isolated island that is settled by a set of well-provisioned castaways, who had been deliberately marooned for opposing the Confederacy. The castaways were three men, including one stereotyped black man, who did the cooking and carried the provisions but is described as a friend. They sail to another island that has not had contact with the outside world since the early seventeenth century, speaks the English of that period, and has created a largely egalitarian eutopia. At twenty-one, a man gets a tract of land. Upon marriage, a house is built. Six-hour workday for men; no outside labor for women. No money. No alcohol. No crime. All change is prohibited, but the arrival of the outsiders poses problems.
