What happens at Apache wells?

When the stagecoach reaches Apache Wells, Lucy receives some distressing news, that her husband was badly hurt in an attack the previous night and has been brought to Lordsburg. Soon after, she passes out on the floor, and by the end of the day, she’s had a baby. The arrival in Apache Wells brings about some dramatic events in Lucy’s life, especially after the harrowing journey she has been on. The birth of the baby, dubbed “Little Coyote” by Buck, who mistakes its cries for a coyote howl, brings the motley group together and pushes them apart in unexpected ways.
