A Message to Garcia Elbert Hubbard

A Message to Garcia is a timeless message. It is a message about teamwork, success, and individual fortitude. George Bernard Shaw poignantly stated "people who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those who are doing it." A Message to Garcia is an essay of warning for those who say it cannot be done, and a celebration of those who are doing it. From a philosopher and a writer who started as a socialist and eventually became a stalwart defender of enterprise and American know-how - and ultimately flashed from existence on earth as a victim aboard the RMS Lusitania - the message further receives an ordained timeless poignancy.
