Freudenheim explores how and why a small. influential group of Californians (including Joseph Worcester. Bernard Maybeck. Charles Keeler. William Keith. Charles Lummis. A. Page Brown. and others)--all of whom had come from the East or from England--were especially devoted to Ruskin and the Arts & Crafts style and how this combined with their dedication to California's natural beauty to create a unique architectural movement.
