About this book
Elbert Hubbard wrote this essay in a single hour on 22 February 1899 and ran it in his magazine The Philistine. Its subject is the worker who takes an instruction and carries it out without fuss, illustrated by Rowan, the American officer sent to deliver a message to the Cuban leader Garcia during the war of 1898. Railway booklet editions ran to half a million copies. Hubbard's own account of how the piece spread, and a short opening piece on loyalty to an employer, come with it.
