In the Walking Purchase, William Penn’s son **tricked the Delaware Indians out of land**. The transaction involved a deceptive scheme where the amount of land to be ceded was based on the distance a man could walk in a set amount of time. However, the Penn family sent trained runners who covered a much greater distance than a typical person could walk, resulting in the acquisition of a large tract of land unjustly.
