Larry Earl Schweikart (/ˈʃwaɪkərt/; born April 21, 1951) is an American historian and retired professor of history at the University of Dayton. During the 1980s and 1990s, he authored numerous scholarly publications. In recent years, he has authored popular books, including A Patriot's History of the United States (2004) and 48 Liberal Lies About American History. According to professors Guy Burton and Ted Goertzel, "Schweikart and Allen are both history professors with distinguished publication records."[1]
Born in Mesa, Arizona to a cattle ranching family, Schweikart graduated from Arizona State University in 1972 with a B.A. in Political science. He entered the ASU Master's program in 1977, writing a national Phi Alpha Theta prize-winning article on the Peary diaries.[2] He received his M.A. in History in 1980. He then received a Ph.D. in History from the University of California, Santa Barbara in 1983.[3] By the time he had graduated, Schweikart had already written two books and several academic articles as a graduate student.[4]
Careeredit
Schweikart took a one-year position at the University of Wisconsin–Platteville Richland. In 1985, he received an appointment to the University of Dayton. There he taught business and economic history, then military history. He was a full professor, and in 1987 was honored for outstanding scholarship.[4] Schweikart retired in 2016.[5]
In 1999 he published a history of American business, The Entrepreneurial Adventure. In 2004 he co-authored the book A Patriot's History of the United States with Michael Allen. In 2006, he published America's Victories. In 2006, he published 48 Liberal Lies About American History.
Schweikart is active on Twitter, operating under various accounts and commenting on political matters, sometimes engaging in arguments with other users. During the 2018 United States elections, he claimed that then-Congressman Beto O'Rourke was sending busloads of illegal immigrants to polling booths and paying them $100 to vote.[6][7][8]
In December 2020, President Donald Trump appointed Schweikart to the Board of Directors of the National Board for Education Sciences, which advises leaders of the Department of Education's research division.[9]
