''A Message to Garcia'' is a best-selling inspirational essay by Elbert Hubbard, published in 1899. It has been made into two motion pictures. ==Publication history== ''A Message to Garcia'' was originally published as a filler without a title in the March 1899 issue of the magazine ''Philistine'' which Elbert Hubbard edited, but was quickly reprinted as a pamphlet and a book. It was very popular, selling more than 40 million copies,〔(Elbert Hubbard's "A Message to Garcia" )〕 and being translated into 37 languages. It 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.
