thanks for the link. I read about a tong war around 1900...the white reporter sat on a balcony drinking tea while one gang lined up on one side, and the other manned up on the other side of the intersection...when the light went green they battled...or something like that, straight out of "Big trouble in little China"
yeah thats some crazy sheet
but i really loved the old pics of chinatown, but the history is incredible.
those pics date back to around the 1800's did you see the guy with the butterfly knives? i wonder who he was.

Frank, I’ve put the picture of the swordsman on the attachment.
That is one crazy looking dude.
he still takes a good photo.That is one crazy looking dude.
Oh yeah it is a good picture but those eyes.
I could be wrong, but that building in the background looks similar to the ones in Marysville, which the suey sing have a branch. I wonder.....
I've only just discovered my error, and I'm going to have to replay whole sections of my life through my mind to see what confusions I may have caused or fallen foul of.

I found it by accident a few months ago on the Online Archive of California.
I was originally looking information on early American & Filipino boxers.
What I find interesting about the Butterfly knives is they seem to be designed more for stabbing than slashing. Another interesting thing in the photo is behind him on the ground is a staff & under the staff is what I had originally thought was a tiger fork however there seems to be only one outside prong & some sort of prong or blade under the staff, so what ever the other weapon is a mystery to me.
According to the information on another link it was taken at 678 Mission Street, San Francisco, CA
mission street? isnt that Franks hood?
Im a bit suspicious about that photo. The lighting and picture quality seems a little to good for somehting taken in the late 1800's or early 1900's

Frank any idea on how the Chinese population in San Francisco was made up at that time, were they mostly Southern or Northern Chinese.
