My name is Mark, and I'm a professional historian living in Bozeman, Montana. I have a pretty wide variety of interests -- many of which involve travel in one form or another -- but here on Wikipedia I mostly devote my energy to articles about the history and geography of the Rocky Mountain and Northern Plains states. Mostly, I enjoy working on significant but little-known topics ... subjects not likely to receive much attention on Wikipedia otherwise.

These are a few of the articles I've either created or heavily rewritten:

Places

• Bingham Canyon Mine
• Dutch John, Utah
• Ingomar, Montana
• Lund, Utah
• Ringling, Montana
• Sixteen, Montana
• Vananda, Montana

Railroads/Trains

• Central Montana Rail
• Columbian (passenger train)
• Deep Creek Railroad
• Gilmore and Pittsburgh Railroad
• Los Angeles and Salt Lake Railroad
• Montana Railroad
• Montana Southern Railway
• Nevada Northern Railway
• North and South Railway
• Pioneer Limited (passenger train)
• Shavano (passenger train)
• Southwest Limited (MILW)

Historians

• Joseph Kinsey Howard
• K. Ross Toole

Closed Colleges

• Albion State Normal School
• College of Artesia
• College of Montana
• Lea College
• Midwestern College
• Redfield College (South Dakota)
• Wessington Springs College

Miscellany

• We Were There (my favorite series of books as a kid)

Photographs

I'm an amateur photographer, and am slowly beginning to upload some of my photos for use on Wikipedia. A gallery of my uploaded photos is at: User:Pitamakan/Images.

I sometimes store Wikipedia code snippets and such at User:Pitamakan/Cribsheet.
