Well, the walking purchase took place in 1737, the original man who wanted this land was William Penn. But he died twenty years before this actual event took place. So his son, Thomas Penn, decided to continue with his fathers business. The Natives who they were buying land from measured distance by how far they could walk, not by miles. Thomas took this to his advantage. He hired three athletic men to take the trek. The objective was to see how far they could walk in three days. A reward was given to the man who could run the farthest. Edward Marshall was the man who won the reward, he ran over 66 miles. The land was given and the colony expanded. The Native Americans found out what had happened, and the seeked revenge. But found none.
