"Mr. Lane received a good common-school education, and under a tutor some knowledge of the classics. He studied law in Kentucky, but removed to Indiana and was admitted to the bar in that state. In 1837 he was elected to the Indiana legislature, and was from 1841 to 1843 a representative to congress from Indiana. In 1846 he went as Lieut. Col. of volunteers under Gen. Taylor to Mexico. In 1859 he was elected to the U.S. senate to contest the seat of J.D. Bright, but was unsuccessful. He was elected in 1861 Governor of Indiana, and two days after his inauguration he was again elected to the U.S. senate from Indiana. He served on the committee of military affairs and pensions, and was chairman of committee on enrolled bills. Reference - Dictionary of Congress. p. 220."
