Eugene Daub ((1942-?) is an American scultor known for busts in a classical style. He created a life-size sculture (from the waist up) of Claude Shannon which stands in a half dozen locations around the USA. Daub studied at University of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Academy for the Fine Arts, and Alfred University in New York, won the Arthur Ross Award from the Institute of Classical Architecture and Classical America, and has received awards in figurative and bas-relief sculpture from the American Numismatic Society and the American Numismatic Association. Daub's work can be found in the British Museum and the Smithsonian Institution, various universities, private industry, several U.S.A. state capitals, and the National Statuary Hall in the U.S. Capital building in Washington, D.C.

This bronze bas relief by Eugene Daub is 96" x 204" and is called "We Proceeded On". It was installed in the Montana senate chamber in 2006. It depicts the 1805 expedition at the High Cliffs area east of Great Falls of the Columbia River. At the panel's center is Sacagawea, the Shoshone woman who acted as interpreter for the expedition. The sculpture was co-sponsored by the Montana Historical Society and the Lewis and Clark Bicentennial Commission. Mr. Daub was commissioned for the work after a nation-wide competition.
