Samson Beaver

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 (which they named HMS Chaba).

The peaks were named by Mary Schäffer, in honour of Samson & Leah's contribution to her survey work and Rocky mountain exploration.

Samson, Leah and their daughter Frances Louise have been memorialized in a photograph by Mary Schäffer (1907).

The photo has since become a highly popular post card image, and the subject of academic discourse.
