Additionally, the fact that people are wearing old-fashioned clothing and riding horses further supports the idea that he has traveled back in time. The presence of log cabins instead of modern houses also indicates a different time period. Lastly, the absence of people around for Walter to interact with about his whereabouts adds to his belief that he is in the past.
