- Summary
- Agent Rowan carries a message of cooperation from President McKinley to revolutionary Cuban General Garcia during the time of the Spanish-American War. Inspired by the 1899 essay A Message to Garcia by Elbert Hubbard (of Roycroft fame), loosely based on an actual incident. The phrase also became a well-known allusion of American popular and business culture until the middle of the 20th century. According to language expert Charles Earle Funk, "to take a message to Garcia" was for years a popular American slang expression for taking initiative and is still used by some members of the military
