But Sherman upon his arrival at Rogersville finds the Elk River to be an insurmountable obstacle. He has neither boats nor ponton-train; it would take too long to construct a trestle-bridge. He therefore moves up the right bank a distance of fifty-six miles, as far as Fayetteville, where a stone bridge offers him at last, on the 8th, an easy crossing. A detachment of the Twelfth corps occupies at this point the terminus of the branch which diverges at Decherd from the Nashville and Stevenson line.
