Crime novel that segues to a Western setting about halfway through hence the Western-motif front-cover decoration of a man on horseback waving a large hat by this prolific pulp novelist one of eleven books he wrote under the Baxter pseudonym between 1923 and 1935. This tells the exploits of "Geraldi dashing knight errant who is a modern Robin Hood who preys only upon those who have preyed upon others." Originally serialized in Western Story Magazine in 1928; later published as by Max Brand as "Three on the Trail" and subsequently in paperback as "Gunman's Goal." The original serial title was probably "Tragedy Trail" although I've not verified this directly; another seller claims it was "Three on the Trail" but that title does not appear among the list of serials credited to Baxter during 1928. .

Savage and brutal without let-down it casts a rare spell."

Blue cloth gilt publisher's device on front cover. Frontispiece portrait of Morton Smith. An ex-library copy with minimal rubber stamping on title & at bottom of text block and with the trace of a removed library pocket on rear pastedown. Josephus and the History of the Greco-Roman Period comprises a series of essays on the Jewish historian Flavius Josephus and on the history of the Second Temple period by many of the best-known specialists in the field. The contributions are revised versions of papers delivered at an international colloquium in memory of Professor Morton Smith that was held at San Miniato Italy in November 1992. The essays cover a broad range of historical and historiographical issues concerning the Seleucid Hasmonean Herodian and Roman periods for which the importance of Josephus - often our only extant source - can hardly be overestimated. Josephus' trustworthiness as a historian is newly investigated from various angles. Fresh light is thrown on philological literary geographical archaeological sociological and religious questions. The book includes a critical evaluation of Morton Smith's scholarly achievement.
