The ascent from the other side is by a road passing up the Meadow River, which is in a deep rocky gorge, the bottom being little wider than the bed of the river, and the side ascending precipitously to the height of nearly three hundred feet. For two miles the road gradually ascends until it reaches the top of the hill, when the country becomes high, rolling, and partially cultivated. " In a lengthy report, addressed to the Hon. Judah P. Benjamin, the Secretary of War for the Confederate States..., Wise wrote as follows in reference to the crossing REPORT TO THE SECRETARY OF WAR 299 of the Gauley at Carnifax : " From the first mention of the occupation at Carnifax Ferry, I urged upon General Floyd the importance of that ferry, as commanding the stem of all the roads to the rear on the turnpike. To this end we could hold it on the left bank or south side of Gauley with a very small force, say 250 men, if their rear were well covered, so as to prevent the approach of the enemy toward them from the turnpike.
