Description
Focusing on the Walking Purchase as the central event in the long process of dispossessing Delaware both geographically and ethnically, Steven C. Harper observes the transformation of a fragile, if generally peaceful, middle ground, habitable by Delaware and English on negotiable terms, to an English colony determined to possess a boundless landscape by fraud and force.
