Honoring a forgotten Civil War veteran
Little was known about Private James Powers, a Michigan man who served in the Civil War, later moved to Seattle and died 95 years ago.

He was a soldier lost to time and memory.

Until a Kent couple, family history researchers and Civil War enthusiasts with masters degrees in history, made it their mission and their deep pleasure to bring Powers’ story to life.
