Note 524 — Chapter III · (continued 2)

[In Hazard’s Register of Penna., Oct. 2, 1830, there is an account of the “long walk” and the so-called “Walking Purchase” acquired in Pennsylvania in 1736, by terms which embraced a distance to be walked in a day and a half, which, by reason of plans devised to increase the distance, was the cause later of much indignation among the Indians. This paper is reprinted in W. W. Beach’s Indian Miscellany (Albany, 1877), p. 86. See further, on troublesome purchases of lands from the Indians, the papers in Doc. Hist. N. Y., on the Susquehanna River, where reference is made to the Susquehanna Title Stated and Examined (Catskill, 1796).—Ed.]
