A Message to Garcia

A Message to Garcia, Elbert Hubbard's classic 1899 essay, delivers the message that the true hero is the man who does his work well and without question -- the man who carries the ''message to Garcia.'' The essay is based on the true story of young Lieutenant Andrew Summers Rowan, who at the time of the Spanish-American War was sent to Cuba alone to carry out a difficult mission, which he did with ''sheer courage and indomitable spirit.'' With archival printing, this pocket-sized edition is designed for both portability and longevity. Hardcover gift volume with dust jacket is a classic addition to any home or office library.
