walking purchase
ист
покупка участка земли, отмеренного шагами
В колониальный период такое измерение участков практиковалось индейцами. Например, в 1686 делавары [Delaware] продали У. Пенну [Penn, William, Jr.] землю между реками Делавэр [Delaware River] и Лихай [Lehigh River], определив ее границы таким образом: "сколько человек может пройти за полтора дня". Пенн прошагал за этот срок 40 миль
