Through evocative tribute chapters, historical images, and community voices, Jerry Buchanan honors the teachers, matriarchs, and everyday heroes who shaped life in St. Charles and nearby towns.\u003cbr\u003eFrom the schoolhouse to the company store, from garden rows to underground shafts, this book captures the duality of life above and below-the beauty of belonging and the struggle to be seen. With emotional depth and historical rigor, Buchanan invites readers into a living archive of grit, grace, and generational legacy.\u003cbr\u003ePerfect for readers of regional history, labor memoirs, and tribute storytelling, Borrowed Ground is a heartfelt homage to the people who made borrowed land their own.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jerry Buchanan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798269696409\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/13\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 118\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.37lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.25d","brand":"Jerry Buchanan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49170549539071,"sku":"9798269696409","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/borrowed-ground-jerry-buchanan-9798269696409","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
