Working almost exclusively in the field of low-budget Westerns, Boston-born Tom Gibson (born Thomas Victor Gibson) directed and/or wrote silent oaters featuring the likes of Pete Morrison, Buddy Roosevelt, and Tom Mix's daughter Ruth. A former vaudevillian, Gibson worked as a Los Angeles newspaperman prior to entering films as a comedy writer for Nestor, Joker, Victor, and other Universal companies in the mid-1910s. He returned to scenario writing after the changeover to sound, once again working in the field of B-Westerns.
