He served in the United States Army from 1943 to 1946. He was educated, along with Poul Anderson, at the University of Minnesota, taking his BA in English in 1948, and remained in Minnesota.

The following year three of his solo efforts were published by John W. Campbell in Astounding Science Fiction and one appeared in Planet Stories. Anderson and Dickson also inaugurated the Hoka series with “The Sheriff of Canyon Gulch” in the May 1951 issue of Other Worlds Science Stories. Gordon would go onto win three Hugo Awards and one Nebula Award.
