Walking Purchase and Land Theft in Colonial Pennsylvania
The article recounts the Walking Purchase of 1737 by the Penn family, aided by a swift runner to claim far more land from the Delaware Nation than intended. It contrasts Penn family tactics with earlier frontier land deals and notes long‑term Indigenous protests and later quarrels led to bloodshed before lands were ceded. Also includes a local Perrysburg Ohio ad with Lydia E. Pinkham’s remedy and a blueing product promotion.
