Better Angels

Mysteres de la Main--Revelations Completes

Better Angels

 Better Angels was placed with the McLean County Museum of History because it has Bloomington roots in the figure of an old African American woman who shares her memories of cooking for President Lincoln when he visited Union troops in Washington, D.C. She knew Lincoln from his circuit-riding days, and she tells how her simple home cooking was the comfort food the President needed in dark days.
