Another one with a no-nonsense mien.

It's fascinating how you don't see Americans that look like this after the 19th century. Any number of pictures of the Civil War or from the West have that same look.

Not quite the "1000 yard stare" of WWII, but something acquired very early in life and reinforced by the rigors of daily living.
