Ben Cromwell remembers the Great Caddo Lake Rush of 1847. He was fourteen that year, and in love with an echanting woman named Pearl. Ben's hometown, the riverboat community of Port Caddo was dying. By the end of the summer, the pearl boom was over, Port Caddo was doomed and the mystery of who killed Judd Kelso had begun. It took Ben forty years to solve the mystery, and once he did, the proof came to him as the only witness. He is the only living soul who will ever know what happened that September night in 1874.
