What does what in the Sam hill mean?

It is an expression of surprise, and apparently a euphemism for the word Hell. From the Related Link: Sam Hill euphemism for "Hell," 1839, Amer.Eng., of unknown origin. Some suspect that it came from one of at least 2 men named Sam Hill. The first notable man named Sam Hill was a surveyor. He was known for using lots of profanity, and he had quite a number of colorful tales to tell. The second notable Sam Hill was an investigator who investigated the Hatfield-McCoy family feud. Apparently, he was called in to figure out what in the "Sam Hill" was happening out there. Additional trivia: It seems that two other idioms may be related to the Hatfield-McCoy feud -- "Don't turn this into a federal case" and "It will take an act of Congress." That family feud really did end up as a federal court case, and the US Congress did possibly end up passing a bill to help end the dispute.
