You can use the 'last' command to see shutdowns, reboots and crashes, i.e.:

usera pts/0 192.168.1.8 Thu Nov 16 08:49 still logged in
reboot system boot 2.4.22-1.2199.8. Thu Nov 16 08:44 (00:05)
usera pts/0 192.168.1.8 Thu Nov 16 06:36 - crash (02:07)
reboot system boot 2.4.22-1.2199.8. Thu Nov 16 02:29 (06:19)
reboot system boot 2.4.22-1.2199.8. Wed Nov 15 23:47 (09:01)

This is from a power-outage on my machine at home overnight.

Yes, the last command is the way to identify the shutdown and reboots, you can also use:

last shutdown
last reboot
