Theodore Rosengarten is an American historian. He graduated from Amherst College in 1966 with a BA, and earned his PhD from Harvard University with a dissertation on Ned Cobb, a former Alabama tenant farmer. Subsequently he developed his interviews with Cobb as a kind of "autobiography", All God's Dangers: The Life of Nate Shaw, which won the U.S. National Book Award in category Contemporary Affairs. About fifteen years later, All God's Dangers: The Life of Nate Shaw was adapted and produced as a one-man play starring Cleavon Little at the Lamb's Theater in New York City.
