## Early Life and Education

Born in New York City’s Chinatown to his parents whom are refugees from mainland China in 1877. He was the youngest son of MaMa Yi a stay at home mother and BaBa Yi a member of the local Tongs (organizations are described as secret societies or sworn brotherhoods and are often tied to criminal activity; or organized crime). He grew up in the streets of Chinatown, occasionally against his parents' will to venture out of Chinatown into the white neighborhoods of Manhattan. Unfortunately, Whiskey Yi’s family was killed by a explosion during the time of the Tong Wars between Baba Yi’s Tong and a rival Tong in Chinatown in 1883. Upon coming home, from venturing out into the “White Neighbhorhoods” of Manhattan, Whiskey Yi saw that his home was surrounded by investigators from the New York City Police Department; this is where Yi met Prescott who was a junior detective for the New York City Police Department. Prescott took him under his wing and began to teach Whiskey Yi basic English and other subjects. At the age of 13 he began assisting Preston Prescott with investigations in Chinatown and giving him information and background on certain locations and explaining culture to Preston Prescott.

## Military Service

### Unit

1st Marines, Charlie Co.

At the age of 18, Whiskey Yi joined the United States Marine Corps, enlisting as an infantry and did not see combat until 1898 engaging in the Spanish American Wars. Attached to the First Battalion Marines, Charlie Company under the command of Lt. Col. Robert W. Huntington, Whiskey Yi was engaged in the Battle of Guantanamo Bay. Under the command of LtCol. Robert W. Huntington, Whiskey's company was to occupy a 150-ft tall hill. Whiskey Yi’s company sounded the alarm during the night that the enemy is assaulting their location, however no assault came their way. The next day, Whiskey’s company was withdrawn from their location and sent to Camp McCalla for resupply and redeployment. However on June 11th, 1898 while on fire watch, at daybreak, Spanish guerrillas opened fire on the Marines at Camp McCalla from surrounding brushes. Firing a fusillade from their rapid-firing Mauser rifles, the guerrillas advanced towards the camp. After heavy fighting, and supported by the reserve company the Marines drove the enemy back into the bush, pursuing the enemy until the chase was abandoned at dark. Whiskey Yi was injured at his post during the engagement from being shot in the arm, however two Marines, Private William Dumphy and James McColgan were found dead 100 yards from their post. The next day on June 12th, 1898, enemy forces came within fifty yards of Camp McCalla, and engaged the Marines erupting into a firefight. Whiskey Yi picked up his Lee straight-pull rifle and began to engage the enemy forces. Fighting continued for another 3 days, which the United States Marines were exhausted as they had not slept nor rested for 100 hours, which was later called “it’s 100 hours of fighting”. Relief was impossible, since United States Army troops were still state-side. On June 30th, Whiskey Yi was finally sent back to the United States and placed in a military hospital for treatment as Whiskey Yi received multiple gunshot wounds as a result of the war. During his time in service, Whiskey Yi received the rank of Sergeant but was discharged for medical reasons. Upon returning back to New York City, a letter from Preston Prescott, now a United States Marshal requested him to join him in the US Marshal Service, which Whiskey agreed.
