"...the step-mother world, so long cruel-forbidding...."
Moby-Dick (1851), chapter 132
"...he is a hardy and light-hearted child of nature—of nature in her wildest simplicity: and in these, her solitudes, he receives a stepmother's care, and battles with a stout heart against her most wintry moods."
"Scenes Beyond the Western Border," Southern Literary Messenger 18 (June 1852): 377 and Scenes and Adventures in the Army
