The Confluence magazine published these two articles concerning Albert Hale (Hal) Sylvester, who served as the supervisor of Wenatchee National Forest for 23 years from 1908 to 1931. The first is a brief biography about his life and career. The second is his own detailed description of his policies and inspirations for assigning place-names to hundreds of the mountains, ridges, lakes, rivers, and other geographic features within the forest.
