Ben Crowell remembers the Great Caddo Lake Pearl Rush of 1874
well. Ben would fall in love for the first time that summer during
one of the last great rushes of the nineteenth century, a rush that
could not have come at a better time for the riverboat community of
Port Caddo.
Just a few months earlier the town had been dying. The railroads
that were cutting across the country made the riverboat
meaningless, and those same railroads didn't stop anywhere near
Port Caddo. By the end of the summer, the pearl rush was over, and
the mystery about who killed Judd Kelso, a local riverboat owner,
had begun.
It took Ben forty years to solve the mystery, and when he did, the
proof came for him alone to witness. He is the only living soul who
knows what happened that September night in 1874.
