Stedman endured a rigid Calvinist education under his grandfather, the pacifist David Low Dodge (1774-1852), later reflecting 'I was injured for life, and almost perished of repression and atrophy' (ANB). He opened his own brokerage firm in 1864, balancing the demands of life on Wall Street with his artistic inclinations.
