A folk narrative describes early settlers building forts Fort Skipton and Fort Cumberland near Potomac waters. Native tribes capture Naomi, who becomes queen among the Red men, while Nemesi vies for her hand. The tale links to local Revolutionary history and the city’s enduring name.
The Red men retreat to avoid conflict and abandon the White man's path. They relocate their village to Little Meadows, with Naomi longing to see her homeland again and climb the mountain side as in former days. Dawn finds the tribe departing toward the setting sun and the settlement of whites.
A Cumberland Maryland memory piece recounts a legend of Nemesi and Naomi who bravely leap from a rocky mound into Fort Cumberland’s shadow after the White settlers encircle them. The verse ends with the poet noting the tale may be true or false, shared by Mrs. Mary J. Fahey of Cumberland.
