It was an agreement between the Penn family and the Lenape. The Penn family claimed 1,200,000 acres and made the Lenape leave. The Iroquois tribes helped aid the Lenape and the issue was refused.

People couldn't just kick you out after you have lived there. If they buy the land when you are already there, they can't kick you out.

The Walking Purchase was a purported 1737 agreement between the Penn family, the owners of Pennsylvania, and Delaware. By it the Penn family and owners claimed an area of 1,200,000 acres and forced Delaware to vacate it. Delaware appeal to the Iroquois for aid on the issue was refused.In Delaware v.s. Pennsylvania, the current nation claimed 314 acres included in the original purchase, but the US District Court granted the Commonwealth's motion to dismiss. It ruled that the case was nonjusticiable, although it acknowledged that Indian title appeared to have been extinguished by fraud

The walking purchase was when the colonist wanted more land. They made a deal with the indians. They said as far as a man could walk in one and a half days would be how much land they got.They ended up walking 44 miles in one day. The next half day they got 20 more miles. They natives ended up feeling like they got cheated

The Walking Purchase of 1737 was an agreement between the Penn family and the Lenape. From this the Penn family could claim 1,200,000 acres and force the Lenape to vacate it. I don't believe we could make a purchase like this today. One reason is because all of the land is owned. Another reason is because it would cost too much money. That's why we couldn't make a purchase like this today.

Hello, I received my Bachelor's degree in History from Cedarville University in Ohio and I taught out of state in West Virginia and Florida for four years. I also worked in telecommunications for 4 years. My grandfather and great uncle went to Saltsburg High School in the 1940's. My grandfather still talks about the 1935 flood! As a result of that flood the local dams were built to prevent flooding.
