Man in the Middle reopens the history of Henry Benjamin Whipple, the First Episcopal Bishop of Minnesota, using his sermons, his letters, and Dakota and Chippewa letters. The book explores his role as a crusader for the survival and salvation of the Dakota and Chippewa peoples of Minnesota and brings to light an obscure figure in American history that deserves a reintroduction to the story of American religious and Indian history.
