A Message To Garcia

A Message to Garcia was written by Elbert Hubbard. It was based on a true story about a lieutenant during the Spanish-American War. In the story Andrew Summers Rowan was given the task from the president, to deliver a message to Garcia. Rowan excepted the task without hesitation. Elbert Hubbard was trying to inspire young men. He wanted to show that being courageous and willing to hold out any task given to them. He wanted to show that hard work and commitment is what should be given by all young men. Hubbard uses Rowan to show that hard work and commitment not only gives self-worth, but also goes for the betterment of others.
