Henry Benjamin Whipple (February 15, 1822 - September 16, 1901) was the first Episcopal bishop of Minnesota. He is most known for clemency pleas in favor of a group of Sioux who fought against the United States Government in the Sioux Uprising in the area around New Ulm. He is memorialized by the Bishop Whipple Federal Building in Ft. Snelling, Minnesota which houses, among other things, offices for members of Minnesota's congressional delegation. External links
