• The Walking Purchase is the name given to an agreement in 1737 between the Penn family, the proprietors of Pennsylvania and the Lenape-Delaware tribe of American Indians.
• William Penn, the founder of Pennsylvania and a devout Quaker, made it a policy to deal fairly with the native tribes. As a result, the traditional mistrust between natives and settlers that existed in most other colonies was not as pronounced in Pennsylvania.
• "as far west as a man could walk in a day and a half."

At that time, there was no land for Pilgrims, so Penn made a policy; when penn's family members walked for 3 days, Indian gave these lands to Penn.

Thanks, Jeensik. There was also an earlier post on the Walking Purchase, with links to a radio clip you were supposed to listen to. I will link the post to the term above.
