Walking Purchase land deal 1682 Penn Delaware Indians

He and a party of Indians began at Neshamining Creek mouth and walked for a day and a half claiming the distance was sufficient for his purposes and a deed was issued at that point. In 1737 after Penn's death a group of expert walkers extended the tract inland to about 70 miles.
