He was recently selected by the National Park Service to live and work as an Artist in Residence at Gettysburg National Military park for thirty days in spring 2019.
Mark’s study of the Old Federal Road began almost 35 years ago when he discovered the recently published “The Federal Road Through Georgia, The Creek Nation, and Alabama 1806-1836 by Southerland and Brown, published by The University of Alabama Press. He has been stumbling down its historic past with camera in tow ever since and his writing and photography was featured in the spring edition of Alabama Heritage magazine.
Mr. Dauber currently lives with his wife Margaret on a farm in Pintlala, Alabama.
