A small monument, erected by the Bucks Coun-ty Historical Society, marks the spot where theold chestnut-tree formerly stood. In order thatthis might not seem to condone an unworthydeed, the monument was dedicated, not to thosewho made or conducted the walk, but to theLenni-Lenape Indians—not to the wrong, but tothe persons wronged. The inscription on the stone reads; TO THE MEMORY OF THE LEXXI-LENAPE INDI.\NSANCIENT OWNERS OF THIS REGION,THESE STONES ARE PLACED ATTHIS SPOT, THE STARTING-POINT OF THE INDIAN WALK, September 19, MARSHALL THREW iUMSLLK AT ILLL LENGTH, ANU GRAblED A SAlLLNG.
