Man Who Carried First Message To Garcia Remembered
San Francisco May 1 1930 thirty years after the mission Lieutenant Rowan carried the urgent message from McKinley to General Garcia in Cuba. Now retired Colonel Rowan lives quietly on Russian Hill and says he did nothing more than any soldier would do. He was thanked by McKinley and later awarded a Distinguished Service Cross. The story contrasts his feat with Cuba's strategic importance and U S military planning on war and peace.
