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

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.
