Although he did not travel farther inland than the slopes of the Appalachians, Thomas Jefferson must take his place alongside Zebulon Pike, Kit Carson, Jim Bridger, and Lewis and Clark--the men who blazed the great western trails. Donald Jackson cogently recounts Jefferson€™s fundamental role in promoting and shaping the exploration, settlement, and development of the Trans-Mississippi West.

Based on comprehensive research, this guide examines the theory and practice of personal selling. It presents a conceptually-oriented treatment of the dynamics of selling and buying which assumes that selling in the firm can only be understood as an integral part of the total marketing effort. The various dimensions of sales positions are discussed along with the interrelationship between selling and the other functions of a marketing department: self-management, understanding buyer behaviour, various aspects of the sales call, different types of selling situations, telephone selling, legal and ethical aspects of selling and career management. Case studies allow the reader to apply concepts in real-world situations. The book is illustrated and contains chapter objectives, questions and exercises.

The white settlers had little interest in the semiarid land assigned to the Sioux under the Treaty of 1868 and, for a time, the Indians enjoyed their domain in relative peace. However, when rumors spread that the Black Hills of the Dakota Territory were rich in gold, miners and newspapers wanted to organize prospecting parties. At first the government discouraged attempts to trespass upon the Sioux land, but under the pressure of public opinion, the Army in 1874 sent the Seventh Cavalry Regiment, commanded by General George A. Custer, to explore the Hills. With reports that gold had indeed been found by Custer, all hope of preserving the Sioux treaty vanished. Miners flocked to the area despite attempts by the government to keep them out; by 1876, the Black Hills had been officially removed from Sioux control.
The story of the expedition and its effect on relations with the Sioux is told from government documents, including much new material from the National Archives, and from newspaper correspondents' reports and previously unpublished journals. William Illingworth's original photographs of the expedition, reproduced here, were almost as influential as reports of the expedition in luring prospectors to the Black Hills.
