A Message To Garcia was originally published in the 1899 issue of The Philistine. It was very popular and was quickly reprinted as a pamphlet. The essay celebrates the action of a soldier who is assigned a difficult mission. He accomplishes his job without questioning his assignment. The essay exhorts the reader to do the same in his own life. The essay reflects the general appeal of the American public to self-reliance in problem solving. Don't ask questions, get the job done is often quoted by business leaders in motivational speeches. Other essays by Hubbard are also included in this collection
Hubbard, Elbert: - Hubbard spent much of his life carefully collecting quotes and passages of significance from history and literature. As he gathered these selections, he added them to his scrap book for his own personal inspiration. Yet, he never once conceived of the idea to publish what had served as spiritual nourishment for his own refreshment and pleasure.
