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.
