At the age of 23, Samuel contributed to the Lancaster Journal an article refuting Locke's Moon Hoax'. From then on, his life was devoted to science. In 1844 he became a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Haldeman was the only American Naturalist with whom Charles Darwin corresponded, and whose opinion Darwin regarded as authoritative.
