Keeping morale high:
--------------------
This is important to people playing on the Adventurer or Trail Guide 
difficulties since low morale can cause you to get fired, which either 
demotes you to Greenhorn or ends your game immediately.
If someone dies, have a proper burial for them. If someone goes missing, 
form a search party. Always celebrate Independence Day. Talk to people 
in your wagon train along the way, as people like it when you ask them 
for advice. Stop and rest occasionally, provided you're in a safe location 
and not behind schedule. Don't rest for over a week, since it'll cause 
people to get bored and impatient. Having the Pastor occupation also 
grants a weekly boost to morale via sermons, as does the Musical skill.

The following items you can purchase or trade for also increase morale:
Banjo, candles, checkers board and set, coffee beans+coffee mill+coffee 
pot (yes you need all 3!), playing cards, fiddle, flute, guitar, 
harmonica, lantern+lantern oil.


Unlimited Money:
----------------
If you are in town at the beginning of your journey, and you go to the 
stables, you know already that you can buy oxen. Oxen tend to cost from 
11-12 dollars an animal. This exploit involves trading the oxen away for 
more money than you bought them for. Here is the most efficient way to 
do it. Step 1: Buy 4-5 oxen. (The more oxen you buy, the higher chance 
it is that you can "fool" the computer and make a profit, but if you buy 
more than 5, than you'll make less money than you could. The stable will 
never run out of oxen.) Step 2: Enter the trading screen, and look for 
dollars. Step 3: Once you have found dollars, scroll down to see how much 
they have. (Remember, they have to have a greater amount of money than 
you spent to buy the oxen, or you wont make a profit.) Step 4: Trade the 
oxen away for the maximum amount possible, while still making a profit. 
(The maximum amount a villager can have is 100 dollars, which can only 
be attained with 5 oxen. If you find one of these people, you will make 
45 dollars, which was about $1500 during the time period.) Step 5: Repeat 
until you have enough money! (If you are trying to get an amount of 90 
dollars or higher, then you might get a refusal. Just hit the "haggle" 
button a few times, and they should accept your offer.)
