David P. Szatmary (born May 27, 1951) is an educator, author on various subjects, and an educational entrepreneur.
Born in Milwaukee, Szatmary earned a baccalaureate degree from Marquette University and M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in American history from Rutgers University. In 1979-1980, he taught in the History Department at the University of Arizona as an Assistant Professor. Based upon his academic work, he published Shays' Rebellion: The Making of an Agrarian Insurrection (University of Massachusetts, 1980), which remains in print. He consulted on the Calliope production of the movie Shays' Rebellion, and more recently was featured in a History Channel program about the rebellion and its importance to the formation of the U.S. Constitution.
From 1980 to 1984, Szatmary managed a chain of music stores in Washington and California, helping to grow the business from three stores in Washington to ten stores on the West Coast. Combining his history expertise with his experience in the music business, he wrote Rockin’ In Time: A Social History of Rock and Roll, published by Prentice-Hall, now in its eighth edition. He also wrote A Time to Rock (Schirmer, 1985) and taught classes at the University of Washington and University of Arizona on the same topic. He has just finished a book on the social history of jazz. In addition, he has authored more than 300 reviews of music and history books for publications such as Library Journal and contributed to multiple editions of All-Music Guide (Scott Foresman, first published in 1992).
