Henry White (March 29, 1850 – July 15, 1927) was a prominent American diplomat during the 1890s and 1900s,[1] and one of the signers of the Treaty of Versailles.[2]
Theodore Roosevelt, who was president during the peak of White's career, described White as "the most useful man in the entire diplomatic service, during my Presidency and for many years before." Colonel House, the chief aide to Woodrow Wilson, called White "the most accomplished diplomatist this country has ever produced."
