Wrightstown near the Lehigh?
It's hard to known what the author meant hear by "the junction of the Delaware River and Lehigh River (near present Wrightstown, Pennsylvania)".
It is commonly held that this continuation of the walking purchase was began near Wrightstown. Indeed, there is an historic marker on PA 413 commemorating the site.
On the other hand, if one were at the confluence of the Leight and Delaware rivers, you would be in Easton. This is a good 40 miles from Wrightstown.
BTW: How about some references?
Please, clear this up. --Wbfairer2 01:28, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Wrightstown,Bucks County
Wrightstown is in Bucks County and close to the Delaware River. The Delaware and Leigh Canal (built in 1800s) runs from Easton and Bristol and connect to Leigh River. There is a marker for the Walking Purchase off of State Rt. 413 in Wrightstown Township,Bucks County. The article is not clear and sound like rivers meeting in that area and they do not. --Bill Wilson, Quaker,former Bucks Countian and journalist. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wmhwilson (talk • contribs) 02:22, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
