:''This article is about the 19th-century journalist and historian of California Indians.'' Stephen Powers (1840–1904) was an American journalist, ethnographer, and historian of Native American tribes in California. He traveled extensively to study and learn about their cultures, and wrote notable accounts of them. His articles were first published over a series of years in the ''Overland Monthly'' journal, but collected in ''The Tribes of California'' (1877), published by the US Geological Survey. ==Early years== Stephen Powers was born in Waterford, Ohio. He attended common schools and graduated from the recently established University of Michigan in 1863. During the American Civil War years, Powers served as a Union Army correspondent for the ''Cincinnati Commercial'' newspaper. In 1869 Powers left Ohio for the West. He walked across the Southern and Western United States to his destination of San Francisco, California. After arriving, Powers wrote about his experiences and observations, and had his book published in 1871. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stephen Powers」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
