‘Walking Purchase of 1737
few remaining years, while James
Ended Peace With
Except for a small outbreak with
Indian traders along the lower Sus-
quehanna Valley, caused by an un-
official ‘Riding Purchase,’ relations
with the Indians in Penn’s Prov-
ince were amicable until the time
of the Walking Purchase on Sep-
tember 19, 1737.
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-

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
