Fra Elbert Hubbard

A Message to Garcia is a short essay written by Fra Elbert Hubbard in 1899. The essay tells the story of a young soldier named Rowan who was tasked with delivering a message from President McKinley to General Garcia, the leader of the Cuban rebels fighting against the Spanish in the late 19th century. Rowan was given no specific instructions on how to find Garcia, but he accepted the mission without hesitation and successfully completed it, earning the admiration of his superiors. The essay is a tribute to the virtues of initiative, resourcefulness, and perseverance, and it became immensely popular in the early 20th century as a motivational and inspirational piece. It has been translated into dozens of languages and has been widely distributed in various forms, including as a pamphlet, a poster, and a film. Hubbard's writing style is simple and direct, and his message is clear: the world needs more people who are willing to take on difficult tasks with determination and courage, without complaint or excuses. The essay has been praised for its timeless wisdom and practical advice, and it continues to be read and admired by people of all ages and backgrounds.
