Samuel Clemens, aka "Mark Twain," remains one of the most respected authors in the United States. His writing inspired the stories of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn! This was filmed near his birthplace, which is, ironically, in a village called Florida, Missouri. Near the village is the Mark Twain State Park, which holds the Salt River and some old growth forest that would have been present during his birth in 1835.
