Snowshoe Thompson, originally named John A. Thompson, changed his name from Tostensen to better assimilate into American culture. The name "Thompson" was more recognizable and easier for English speakers to pronounce, which helped him navigate his life as a Norwegian immigrant in the United States. This change also reflected his desire to establish a new identity while he became famous for his extraordinary skill in snowshoeing across the Sierra Nevada mountains to deliver mail.
