Furman Bisher

James Furman Bisher (November 4, 1918 – March 18, 2012) was a long-time newspaper sports writer and columnist for ''The Atlanta Journal-Constitution'' in Atlanta, Georgia.
== North Carolina beginnings ==

Bisher was born in Denton, North Carolina.〔Associated Press, "( Sportswriter Furman Bisher dies at 93; NC native wrote for Atlanta newspaper for 59 years )," ''The Washington Post'' (March 18, 2012). Retrieved March 19, 2012.〕 From German immigrant stock, his parents named him for a regionally known Baptist minister, James Furman.〔Ed Hinton, "( Furman Bisher set the standard )," ESPN (March 19, 2012). Retrieved March 19, 2012.〕 After initially attending Furman University, Bisher graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1938, and was a manager for the North Carolina Tar Heels football team while he was an undergraduate.〔Mike Tierney, "( Furman Bisher: Atlanta sportswriter, legend )," ''The Atlanta Journal-Constitution'' (March 19, 2012). Retrieved March 19, 2012.〕 After graduating from UNC, he became the editor of the ''Lumberton Voice'' newspaper in Lumberton, North Carolina at the age of 20.〔 During World War II, he served as a lieutenant (junior grade) in the U.S. Navy from 1941 to 1945, editing a military newspaper and managing the Armed Services Radio Network in the South Pacific.〔 After his military service ended, he went to work at the ''High Point Enterprise'' in High Point, North Carolina, and then the ''Charlotte News'' in Charlotte, North Carolina, where he became the sports editor in 1948.〔
Bisher landed an interview with former professional baseball player Shoeless Joe Jackson in 1949—the first published interview with Jackson since the 1919 Black Sox Scandal.〔 It was the only interview that the former Chicago White Sox outfielder and star hitter would ever give about his alleged involvement in the fixing of the 1919 World Series,〔 and the old ballplayer maintained his innocence to the end, trusting only Bisher to tell his story.〔Kevin Kaduk, "( Furman Bisher's Shoeless Joe Jackson article was a high point in writer's long career )," Yahoo! Sports (March 19, 2012). Retrieved March 19, 2012.〕 In an era when most other sports writers refused to acknowledge auto racing, he also covered the first stock car cup race in 1949—what would later become known as NASCAR.〔
