There are certain aspects of historic research which pose identification problems. This is one of them. The article states that the encampment was on Highland Avenue without further information. There is a Highland Avenue in the Cadwalader-West End area of Trenton, and another in Yardville Heights. Looking at maps of both locations suggests that the encampment was at Yardville Heights. The reason being that the area shown in the photo is very expansive and Trenton's Highland Avenue is very short. Don Wright, do you have any information on the possibility that the Adventists set up a tent city in the Heights? My Aunt, Uncle and cousins were Seventh Day Adventists but unfortunately they are no longer with us.
