According to Mark Twain the source novel is largely autobiographical. Tom Sawyer is based on Twain. Huck was based on Tom Blankenship, a boy Twain befriended in Hannibal, MO. He was the son of a local vagrant, who Twain said "had the greatest heart of anyone he knew". Becky was based on Laura Hawkins, who Twain dated for a while. Injun Joe was based on Joe Douglas, a local vagrant who spent half his time in jail. He was very sweet to the local kids when drunk, but could be scary when he sobered up.
