Today in class we talked about the essay/article/book/movie A Message To Garcia. We took a lot of notes but I'm way to lazy to type all of them up here. Here are some basics. It was written in 1899. It sold over 40 million pamphlets world wide. It became a national phenomenon in America. It was based off a true story from the Spanish-American War. It uses real people and events to display a message of excellence.
