| Summary |
"Rodney, the Ranger, with Daniel Morgan on Trail and Battlefield" by John V. Lane is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers on the adventures of a young boy named Rodney Allison during the tumultuous times around the American Revolutionary War, highlighting his encounters with both the British and Native Americans. The story promises to intertwine themes of bravery, conflict, and personal growth as Rodney navigates his early teenage years amidst a backdrop of significant historical events. The opening of the book introduces readers to Rodney and his younger sister, Naomi, as they navigate their surroundings in Virginia. We see a glimpse of Rodney's character through his interactions—with an arrogant cousin and an appealing girl named Lisbeth—and witness his bravery when he acts to rescue her from a charging bull. Their peaceful day quickly shifts to more pressing concerns, hinting at larger conflicts involving their family and the encroaching relationships with Native American tribes, setting the stage for Rodney's future conflicts and adventures. This portion captures the sense of youthful determination in an unpredictable landscape, where friendships and enemies are often blurred by the realities of war and survival.
