Book Description

Excerpt from Memorial Addresses in Honor of Bishop Henry Benjamin Whipple, at the Monthly Council Meeting of the Minnesota Historical Society, in the State Capitol, St. Paul, Minn., Monday Evening, October 14, 1901 Gentlemen of the Executive Council of the Historical Society: I have been honored by an invitation to say a few words on the subject of the late Bishop Whipple, in regard to his mis sion work for the Indians. While I am glad of the opportunity of adding anything to the admirable record of that pure and noble man, I feel my inability to do him justice, never having had any very close relations with the church he represented, or in fact with any other. I can recall only two circumstances that afford any justification for my saying a word on the subject. In the first place, I have known Bishop Whipple perhaps longer than any other man in our State, and, secondly, I have had a good deal of experience and contact with the Indians of the North west.
