The History of Pika Press In 1984, Rich Wandschneider founded Pika Press to publish a collection of poetry by Wallowa valley farmer Betty Cornwell. Then came the reprinting of Nature Rambles, a natural history of the Wallowas. Other books by local authors followed, including works by Grace Bartlett, a historian who used personal interviews and original sources to document the evolution of human settlement and displacement in the Wallowas. Pika Press has also published the Fishtrap Anthology for ten years, which features the works of those participating in various events sponsored by Fishtrap, the non-profit literary organization centered in Wallowa County, Oregon. Pika Press is a member of the Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association http://www.pnba.org/ and of the Upper Midwest Booksellers Association http://www.abookaday.com/.
