He was born in Harrington, Cumberland, received medical training in nearby Whitehaven and studied at the University of Edinburgh. He started in practice at Allerdale, west Cumberland before moving to Coniston in 1843. In 1849 he took the position of surgeon to the Coniston copper mines but eventually found the work too heavy and in 1857 settled in Bebington, Cheshire where he remained in practice until poor health compelled him to retire in 1872. As a young man Gibson regularly contributed to newspapers and in later life wrote articles for various periodicals and antiquarian associations, being himself a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London. He was the author of The Geology of the Lake Country in Harriet Martineau's Guide to the Lake District, and wrote two books himself. The Old Man was published in book form in 1849 having previously appeared by chapter in the Kendall Mercury, and in 1869 he published The Folk-speech of Cumberland and Some Districts Adjacent which included a ballad in the Annandale dialect. This reprint includes the eight illustrations which accompanied the original edition.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Old Man: Or Ravings and Ramblings Round Conistone It has long been a favourite notion with me that if, instead of general guides to, or descriptions of all the Lake country comprised in single volumes, of which we have a superabundance, we could have each distinct locality treated of fully and minutely in a work devoted exclusively to itself, and written by some one whose long residence in, and intimate knowledge of the district described would secure its accuracy, we should possess a series of Lake books much more comprehensive, more useful, and more amusing than any we can yet boast of. An idea slightly similar to this seems at one period to have germinated in Professor Wilson's brain; but, notwithstanding the fertility of the soil, it bore no fruit. In a review of Green's Guide, the Professor says, - "It is our serious intention to pitch our Tent, next summer, somewhere or other among these said Lakes. Each of our principal contributors will have a Lake assigned him, and the lesser ones a Tarn. Wastle shall have Windermere - Odoherty, Ullswater - Ourselves, Keswick - and Kempferhausen is perfectly welcome to Conistone. By a just distribution of our forces, the Lakes will find themselves looked at and described in a way they never experienced before." As nearly thirty years have elapsed since this intention was promulgated, and we have still to deplore its non-fulfilment, I have taken the initiative with the Lake somewhat depreciatingly assigned to the German savan. It is devoutly to be wished that my modest example were followed with regard to the other great Lakes, by parties who know them as perfectly as I know Conistone. It may hardly be gainsaid that there are such about every one of our Lakes, able, were they willing, to do much more justice to their subjects than poor Conistone has obtained from me; and if they would only set about it, I might, at least, claim the credit of having opened the ball. In the volume now offered to his favourable consideration, the reader will find a very sufficient guide to all that is worthy of notice in the neighbourhood it depicts.
