Biography[]
"Tallahassee" Glover was an adventurer in the 1930s, presumably originating from (or being connected to) Tallahassee, Florida. During the mid 1930s, "Tallahassee" Glover worked as a journalist for The Daily Gnus newspaper. This job had Tallahassee working in, "Adventureland", a supernatural geographic feature made up of exotic locales from across the globe, connected by the enchanted Rivers of Adventure.
Around 1936, Glover wrote an article investigating a series of petroglyphs found at the base of the Diseneyoendron tree which held Tarzan's Treehouse. While investigating this subject, she interviewed the talking bird, José of the Enchanted Tiki Room and the English colonist-turned-witch-doctor "Shrunken Ned". At some point following this event, she wrote and article on the Jungle Navigation Company polluting the rivers of Adventureland with Christmas ornaments.
