Long shrouded in controversy, Dr. Grace Raymond Hebard has largely been forgotten in Wyoming today. Those who know of her, largely know of the villainized version presented by the generations of historians who came after her. Kylie’s current research investigates the controversies and contributions of Dr. Grace Raymond Hebard, in hopes of restoring her humanity and shining a light on the work she did for the state of Wyoming.
