Summary
"A Message to Garcia" is an inspirational essay by Elbert Hubbard, and was first published in 1899. It highlights the value of individual initiative and uses, as its primary example, a dramatized account of a brave feat performed by an American soldier, Andrew S. Rowan, just before the Spanish-American War. The narrative describes Rowan carrying a message from President William McKinley to General Calixto García, a leader of the Cuban insurgents in the mountains of Cuba. The essay has been published in book form and reprinted in many anthologies of inspirational literature.
