It was proposed to buy from the Indians a triangle of land as far as a man could walk from sunrise to sunset, which seemed fair to the chiefs Lappowinzo and Tishco- han. Instead, three fast runners, Marshall, Jennings and Yeates, were engaged to run a relay mar- athan, all to receive 500 acres of land as reward, which would -take | in six times as much ground as a man might walk in a day. The group was headed by Thomas Mar- shall, a Quaker athlete, whose mar- athons were the talk of two con- tinents, and who exacted as his chief prize of his achievement, a | rich, fertile island in the Delaware | River near Tinicum, cultivated by the redskins for many centuries, where he died at upwards of 90 years, and is buried. After that cruel deception, the Indians literally -‘washed their hands’ of the younger Penns, ‘They are not like Onas (William Penn),’ remarked the much harassed chief of the Delaware, Teedyuscung, 20 | years later. The Indians reversed ! their policy of friendly olezasion / with the whites and gave way only | by force of arms or at prices which | would have staggered Onas, the great half-Dutch, half-Welsh Quaker founder of Pennsylvania, had he lived. ! The day of the Walking Pur- chase was clear and chilly and pro- duced a spectacular event which historians have carefully recorded. At the head of the group to wit- ness the start, (the site has since been marked by the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commis- sion, the Gallows Hill Maker being noted for its historic dignity and artistic proportions) rode Thomas Penn, son of thé Founder. Marshall was given a round of applause as he started off and of the three was alone to continue at a trot until the sun sank behind the walls of the Poconos. Sol. Jen- nings collapsed in fording the Le- high and was an invalid for his Yeates had a dizzy spell at Die Wind Kluft (Wind Gap), became blind and died of fatigue the same night. : The Indian sellers, who went along as umpires, dropped out at the time of Yeates’ collapse, say- ing that the ‘run’ was a fraud per- petrated upon them and they would have nothing further to do with such an infamous imposture. Mar- shall finished alone, feeling fit, and sat down and ate a big cold supper he had carried with him in his deerskin rucksack. He received the island he coveted, which is known as Marshall's Island. In- stead of an exchange of money and deeds, the Indians returned to Philadelphia in angry mood, re- fused to accept the result of the ‘walk’ and held out against its rati- fication and the incoming of Set- get more! on your holiday travels with CALS SUPREME Pen-Fern Gil Co.

MAIN HGWY, SHAVERTOWN PHONE 111-R-0 PAGE SEVEN Indians tlers as best they could for five years until 1742, when the Council of the Six Nations overrode the disgruntled Delawares. This being done, the defrauded Indians deposed the two chiefs who had negotiated the purchase and banished them from the tribal lands. Accordingly Lappowinzo and Tishcohan were compelled to move westward, taking up small tracts at the foot of Mount Nittany, within sight of the present Penn- sylvania State College. After the so-called Indian Walk, lands purchased from the Pennsyl- vania Indians were always marked by suspicians on both sides and all treaties were more or less acri- monious. Thus began, it is gener- ally conceded, a series of misunder- standings and Indian wars which lasted practically until the begin- ning of the nineteenth century end- ing with General Wayne's final victories. The immediate results of the Walking Purchase were advantag- eous to Thomas Penn, who largely was responsible for it, and to his Sweet Valley Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Lanning and family spent the weekend in Phila- delphia. Ladies Auxiliary, Sweet Valley Volunteer Firemen, are planning a dance at Wolfe's Grove, Wednes- day, July 18.

Mr. and Mrs. Freas Morris and family spent the weekend at Sayre, visiting relatives. brother Richard, sons of the orig- inal proprietor who came to Penn- sylvania in 1732. Local cartoons, reflecting the views of the general run of the population, were not favorable but the ‘walking pur- chase’ on that blowy September morn in 1737 will long remain a highlight in the annals of Penn- sylvania folklore and history. | i tves.
