A Settled Country
The country we have entered is not a city in the legend's sense, but it is a settled country. The Penobscot bank between the river-mouth and the falls is dotted with bark-walled villages, fenced gardens, ceremonial mounds, and well-built bark-canoes. The Abenaki sachem at the largest of the villages receives the Target Leader with formal courtesy and is willing to grant the use of a riverside plot for a French or English trading post. The fur trade is real. The walled city is not. The country may be worth holding all the same.

historical_info = seven_cities_norumbega.2.historical_info The Abenaki sociopolitical structure in the early contact period was based on extended-family villages organised under hereditary sagamores, with seasonal movement between river-bottom planting sites and coastal fisheries. European traders found the system congenial: it produced predictable trading partners, a steady supply of furs and corn, and political fragmentation that prevented any single Abenaki polity from imposing terms on the trade. Norumbega-as-walled-city was a fantasy, but the Penobscot fur trade that the legend pointed toward proved durable for more than two centuries.
