This biography from the Archives of AskART:
| A 20th-century sculptor, Eugene Daub has been an instructor at the Scottsdale Artists' School and designer of the first Philadelphia Liberty Medal, which the city of Philadelphia awards every year to a champion of world peace.
He is also a former vice president of the American Medallic Sculpture Association and a Fellow of the National Sculpture Society.
In 1985, he won first place in an international competition for the design of the Statue of Liberty Medal, issued by the Numismatic Society. His work is in the collections of the Smithsonian Institution and the British Museum, and in 1991, he won the Saltus Award, the highest national and international recognition of the American Numismatic Association for excellence in bas-relief sculpture.
Another work by Daub, the "Corps of Discovery", commemorates the passage of the Lewis and Clark expedition through the Kansas City Territory. The statue features Merriwether Lewis, William Clark and Sacajewea, a Shoshone guide and interpreter; and York, an African-American slave. Also represented is Lewis' dog, Seaman.
The statue will be placed in Kansas City overlooking the Missouri and Kau rivers and is being paid for by The William T. Kemper Foundation and private donations.
