What is known about Victor Appleton is that he is not a real person.
Most (if not all) of the first 36 volumes in the Tom Swift series were
written by Howard R. Garis who wrote the Uncle Wiggily stories about a
rheumatic gentleman rabbit. Garis was a close personal friend to Edward
Stratemeyer and wrote many series for the Syndicate. Several members of
Howard Garis' family also wrote for the Syndicate, including his wife
Lilian C. Garis, son Roger C. Garis, and daughter Cleo M. Garis. Howard
continued to write after Edward Stratemeyer's death in May 1930. At that point, Stratemeyer's two daughters, Harriet Stratemeyer Adams (1892-1982) and Edna C. Squier (1895-1974), continued to direct the Syndicate. Howard Garis wrote many of the early Bobbsey Twins books as well as books in the Great Marvel series (as Roy Rockwood), Baseball Joe series (as Lester Chadwick), and seemingly countless others.
