Ben Crowell remembers it well: that summer, he  fell in love. That autumn, Judd Kelso, a local riverboat owner, was  killed. The pearl rush was over within a few months, but Judd Kelso's  murder remained unsolved, and only Ben Crowell seemed interested in  finding out who killed Kelso and why.\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSpanish Blood\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 1870, Bart Young heads for the New Mexico Territory, where he has heard men are making fortunes overnight in land speculation on the old Spanish grants.
