They opened negotiations with tbe Del aware for extending the rennayi- vanla colony beyond Nesbamlny creek. One old chief who opinised tne cession reminded his brethren of the 'Oxhide Purchase" made ninny years before by settlers who asked only enough land to build a Ore upon or as much as could be encompsssed by an oxhide. The request was granted. The settler cut the kln Into thin strip and the Delaware learned to their dismay Just how much land muld be sncoiuoassed by an oxhldo. But despite this bitter lesson the Delaware finally consented to the Penns offer, the agreement being that the new territory was to extend as fur west from the Neshamlny as a man could walk In a day and a half, hence the name "Walking Purchase." Then the Peons built a smooth road into the territory and hired a swift runner who went over the route several times to become familiar with It, The result was that on the day the measurement was made this runner gained for the Penne at least four times as much land as th Delaware had Intended they should have. The Indians pro tested and kept on protesting until the Penns substituted strong ana methods for trickery. They called in the Iroquois, who drove th ueiawares off the disputed land. But the Indians had long memory. Fifty years later they reproached Oovernor St. Clair of the Northwest territory with the "Oxhide Purchase" ind the "Walking Purchase" when be culled the Ohio tribes Into council at Fort Uariuar, and it was not until after a bloody war that the tribes, finally ceded their lauds.
