I just thought of one:

"Girl of the Limberlost" by Gene Stratton-Porter

Free e-book download:

and here:

and other sites.

The Limberlost Swamp plays a big role in the novel. It's been quite a while since I've read the book, and I only read it after seeing a television movie (Wonderworks?) adaptation, which was very good (except they gave a name to the character "Bird Woman", calling her Gene Stratton-Porter!)
