Rodney, the Ranger, with Daniel Morgan on Trail and Battlefield

About the author
Born in 1861, John V. Lane — also listed in library and ebook records as John Veasey Lane — was an American author whose known works center on Revolutionary War themes. Reliable catalog records link him to Marching with Morgan: How Donald Lovell Became a Soldier of the Revolution (1909) and to Rodney, the Ranger: With Daniel Morgan on Trail and Battlefield.
His fiction and historical storytelling focus on young protagonists, frontier movement, and well-known figures from the Revolution, especially Daniel Morgan. That suggests he wrote with younger readers in mind, blending adventure with a strong interest in American history.
Biographical details beyond his birth year are not well documented in the sources I could confirm during this search, so it is best to treat him as a lightly recorded author whose reputation now rests mainly on those surviving historical adventure titles.
