My question....why and how is "Lincoln" still perceived by others in the saloon as alive in the 1870s?!?

The man only thought he was Abraham Lincoln - e.g. Napoleon complex. Since the man who thought he was Abe was nice to everyone, the residents of North Fork played along with him and did not contradict him or his identity.

The only southern sympathizer in the saloon, he did not actually think of himself as being Booth, he only made the claim to rattle the man who thought he was Abe.
