A place with its own character.
Coyote Bend has the ordinary needs of a town: work, food, a place to sleep, somebody to ask for help. Its extraordinary pressure comes from the silver. A mine can support a household and give another man leverage over that household at the same time.
Boardwalks and offices, the saloon and the church, the undertaker’s wagon moving along the street: these are the places where private lives become part of public history. Rumor passes between doorways. News travels faster than a horse.
The town is the center of the saga because its people cannot simply leave every consequence behind. To understand Coyote Bend, look past the men making demands and notice the people trying to keep their lives together.
