Mark spent his youth and early adulthood on a large family ranching operation in Carbon County, Wyoming, started by his great-grandfather Isaac C. Miller in 1881. He worked the land and livestock until he was thirty-two. In the meantime, he studied anthropology and archaeology, earning bachelor's and master's degrees at the University of Wyoming, and a PhD at the University of Colorado. He then served as Wyoming State Archaeologist for three decades and today holds an adjunct professorship in the Anthropology Department at the University of Wyoming.

Mark lives along the Big Laramie River in Albany County, Wyoming. His memoir, A Sometimes Paradise: Reflections on Life in a Wyoming Ranch Family, is his third book.

“My family had written stories about places in ranch history. We used the slanting penmanship of fence lines scribbling their way across dunes, the sweeping cursive of cut hay in the meadow below the barn, and the well-placed punctuation of windmills and water holes over the range.”

“We were young, we were merry, we were very, very wise,
And the door stood open at our feast,
When there passed us a woman with the West in her eyes,
And a man with his back to the East.”
Mary Elizabeth Coleridge
