Eluned Morgan (author)

Eluned Morgan (author)

Eluned Morgan (1870 – December 29 1938), was a Welsh language author from Patagonia.

She was born aboard the ship Myfanwy "en route" to Patagonia, the daughter of Lewis Jones who gave his name to the city of Trelew. She was partly educated in Wales, between 1903 and 1909, and worked for a time in Cardiff Central Library until her return to Patagonia in 1918.

She wrote numerous articles on literature and life in Y Wladfa (the Welsh settlement in Patagonia) for Welsh periodicals such as Cymru, edited by Owen Morgan Edwards, but is chiefly remembered for her two books about Patagonia and the Incas, "Dringo'r Andes" (1904) and "Plant yr Haul" (1915).
