"Asael fought for our liberty in the Revolutionary War. In the summer of 1776, he joined a regiment to defend New York's northern frontier. In his prime of life, Asael Smith gave this counsel to his family, "Bless God that you live in a land of liberty....See God's providence in the appointment of the Federal Constitution and hold both Union and Order as a precious jewel."
Asael left a great legacy to his family and the (LDS) Church. He consistently set an example of honesty and integrity in the face of adversity. His writings reveal a deep faith in Jesus Christ and His resurrection. An unwavering concern for his fellowmen is evidenced in his strong anti-slavery beliefs. In the last message to his family, he exhorted them to "Search the scriptures." These are qualities that would serve us well to emulate."
