About this person
As a boy of fourteen, Samson accompanied his father on a trip to the lake they called Chaba Imne. Sixteen years later, in 1907, Samson met Mary Schäffer, who had just failed in an attempt to find the route to a reputed large lake high in the mountains between Lake Louise and Jasper. Samson sketched a map showing the route to Chaba Imne. The following year Schäffer returned with her friend Mary Adams, guides Sid Unwin and Billy Warren. Using the map provided by Beaver, they found the lake, and explored it by raft. The lake is now known as Maligne Lake.
