text:
Sam Hill is an American English slang phrase, a euphemism or minced oath for "the devil" or "hell" personified. Etymologist Michael Quinion and others date the expression back to the late 1830s; they and others consider the expression to have been a simple bowdlerization, with, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, an unknown origin.
