Written by me.
Rachel Dunne came to Sweetwater under mysterious circumstances. The boys and Teaspoon were quickly won over by her charms, but it took Lou awhile longer to accept her into their lives as the new housekeeper. Rachel's sordid past came back to haunt her when word of her being a 'murderer' reached the ears of the riders and Teaspoon.
Quickly, Rachel related to them how she'd worked for a while as a dealer/gambler for a man named J.D. Higgins. They'd had a brief fling before she fell in love with and married Henry Dunne. They settled into married life in Blue Creek and were happily expecting their first child when Higgins arrived and instigated a confrontation with the Dunnes. Henry was killed by Higgins, who turned his attention onto Rachel. In the ensuing gunplay, Higgins lost his life at Rachel's hands.
Rachel suffered a heartbreaking miscarriage and was charged with Higgins murder, even though she had killed him in self-defense. She escaped custody and fled to Sweetwater. Teaspoon and the riders believed her and helped her clear her name. Knowing that she was a free woman, at last, Rachel settled in as the newest member of the Pony Express family.
