词汇 message to garcia
词源
message to Garcia. In his inspirational A Message to Garcia (1899), Elbert Hubbard dramatized the true adventure of Lt. Andrew Summers Rowan, U.S. Bureau of Naval Intelligence, who during the Spanish-American War was sent by the U.S. chief of staff to communicate with General Calixto García, leader of the Cuban insurgent forces. No one knew just where the elusive García might be, but Rowan made his way through the Spanish blockade in a small boat, landing near Turquino Peak on April 24, 1898, where he contacted local patriots, who directed him to García far inland, and returned to Washington with information regarding the insurgent forces. The brave and resourceful Rowan became a hero, but Hubbard transformed him into an almost Arthurian figure and it was his essay that made carry a message to Garcia a byword.
