Eleanor Waring Burnham

Eleanor Waring Burnham (1868–1959), also published as Eleanor Howard Waring, was an American writer active in the early 20th century. Records of her books show that she wrote the 1907 novel The White Path under her earlier name and later published Justin Morgan, Founder of His Race: The Romantic History of a Horse after her marriage.

She married sculptor Roger Noble Burnham in 1909. Contemporary references linked her with Savannah, Georgia, and later catalog records identify her as Mrs. Roger Noble Burnham, showing how her published name changed across different stages of her career.

Today, she is most closely associated with Justin Morgan, Founder of His Race, a lively historical work centered on the horse whose line became the famous Morgan breed. Even from the surviving records alone, her writing stands out for joining narrative energy with a clear affection for history and character.
