William “Buffalo Bill” Cody byla v\u00fdrazn\u00e1 osobnost, kter\u00e1 sehr\u00e1la z\u00e1sadn\u00ed roli p\u0159i utv\u00e1\u0159en\u00ed americk\u00e9ho Z\u00e1padu. Narodil se na \u00fazem\u00ed Iowy v roce 1846 a vyr\u016fstal v bou\u0159liv\u00e9 dob\u011b z\u00e1padn\u00ed expanze a konflikt\u016f. V 11 letech tvrdil, \u017ee p\u0159epravoval zpr\u00e1vy pro Pony Express, legend\u00e1rn\u00ed po\u0161tovn\u00ed slu\u017ebu, kter\u00e1 fungovala v 60. letech 19. stolet\u00ed. Historici v\u0161ak zpochybnili pravdivost jeho tvrzen\u00ed a na\u0161li rozpory v jeho autobiografii a d\u016fkazy nazna\u010duj\u00edc\u00ed, \u017ee byl v t\u00e9 dob\u011b ve \u0161kole.<\/p>\n\n
Codyho otec byl otev\u0159en\u00fd abolicionista, kter\u00fd byl v roce 1857 ubod\u00e1n k smrti pot\u00e9, co se vyj\u00e1d\u0159il proti \u0161\u00ed\u0159en\u00ed otroctv\u00ed. Tato ud\u00e1lost m\u011bla na Codyho hlubok\u00fd vliv a v\u0161t\u011bpovala mu hlubokou \u00factu k ob\u010dansk\u00fdm svobod\u00e1m. Navzdory jeho zobrazen\u00ed domorod\u00fdch Ameri\u010dan\u016f jako padouch\u016f v jeho show o Divok\u00e9m z\u00e1pad\u011b odhaluj\u00ed jeho spisy mnohem jemn\u011bj\u0161\u00ed pohled. V\u011b\u0159il, \u017ee domorod\u00ed Ameri\u010dan\u00e9 maj\u00ed pr\u00e1vo vzdorovat z\u00e1sah\u016fm b\u00edl\u00fdch osadn\u00edk\u016f a bojovat za svou zemi.<\/p>\n\n
Jako mlad\u00fd mu\u017e se Cody vydal na \u0159adu dobrodru\u017estv\u00ed, kter\u00e1 upevnila jeho pov\u011bst jako\u017eto pr\u016fkopn\u00edka. Pro \u017eeleznici Kansas Pacific lovil bizony a za obdob\u00ed osmi m\u011bs\u00edc\u016f jich zabil odhadem 4 000. Tento nadm\u011brn\u00fd lov spolu s lovem americk\u00fdch voj\u00e1k\u016f p\u0159isp\u011bl k t\u00e9m\u011b\u0159 vyhynut\u00ed americk\u00e9ho bizona.<\/p>\n\n
V roce 1872 se Cody p\u0159ipojil ke skupin\u011b um\u011blc\u016f zn\u00e1m\u00e9 jako “Scouts of the Plains”. Tato zku\u0161enost ho inspirovala k vytvo\u0159en\u00ed vlastn\u00ed show o Divok\u00e9m z\u00e1pad\u011b, kter\u00e1 debutovala v roce 1883. Show zahrnovala st\u0159elbu, provazov\u00e1 \u010d\u00edsla, lov bizon\u016f a rekonstrukce historick\u00fdch ud\u00e1lost\u00ed, jako byla Custerova posledn\u00ed bitva. Stala se obrovsk\u00fdm \u00fasp\u011bchem a v\u00edce ne\u017e 30 let cestovala po sv\u011bt\u011b a ovlivnila zp\u016fsob, jak\u00fdm Ameri\u010dan\u00e9 vn\u00edmali Z\u00e1pad a jeho historii.<\/p>\n\n
Cody byl hlasit\u00fdm zast\u00e1ncem pr\u00e1v \u017een a volebn\u00edho pr\u00e1va. V\u011b\u0159il, \u017ee \u017eeny by m\u011bly m\u00edt stejn\u00e9 p\u0159\u00edle\u017eitosti a v\u00fdsady jako mu\u017ei. Jeho vlastn\u00ed man\u017eelstv\u00ed s Louisou Fredericiovou bylo poznamen\u00e1no dlouh\u00fdmi odlou\u010den\u00edmi a f\u00e1mami o nev\u011b\u0159e. V roce 1904 podal \u017e\u00e1dost o rozvod a obvinil Louisu z pokusu o otravu. N\u00e1sleduj\u00edc\u00ed skand\u00e1l se dostal na tituln\u00ed str\u00e1nky novin a odhalil temnou str\u00e1nku Codyho osobn\u00edho \u017eivota.<\/p>\n\n
Krom\u011b sv\u00fdch podnikatelsk\u00fdch aktivit ve sv\u011bt\u011b showbyznysu investoval Cody do p\u016fdy ve Wyomingu a hr\u00e1l roli v projektu zavla\u017eov\u00e1n\u00ed Shoshone. V roce 1904 p\u0159evedl sv\u00e1 vodn\u00ed pr\u00e1va na feder\u00e1ln\u00ed vl\u00e1du a za\u010dala v\u00fdstavba p\u0159ehrady Shoshone (pozd\u011bji p\u0159ejmenovan\u00e9 na p\u0159ehradu Buffalo Bill). P\u0159ehrada, kter\u00e1 byla dokon\u010dena v roce 1910, byla jednou z prvn\u00edch betonov\u00fdch obloukov\u00fdch p\u0159ehrad postaven\u00fdch ve Spojen\u00fdch st\u00e1tech a z\u016fst\u00e1v\u00e1 d\u016fle\u017eit\u00fdm zdrojem vody pro zem\u011bd\u011blstv\u00ed v regionu.<\/p>\n\n
Buffalo Bill Cody zem\u0159el v roce 1917 a zanechal po sob\u011b slo\u017eit\u00fd a trval\u00fd odkaz. Jeho show o Divok\u00e9m z\u00e1pad\u011b romantizovala americk\u00fd Z\u00e1pad a formovala zp\u016fsob, jak\u00fdm ho vn\u00edmaly generace Ameri\u010dan\u016f. Nicm\u00e9n\u011b tak\u00e9 \u0161\u00ed\u0159ila stereotypy o domorod\u00fdch Ameri\u010danech a oslavovala n\u00e1sil\u00ed, kter\u00e9 doprov\u00e1zelo expanzi na z\u00e1pad. Codyho podpora ob\u010dansk\u00fdch svobod a jeho role ve vodohospod\u00e1\u0159sk\u00fdch projektech poskytuj\u00ed mnohem jemn\u011bj\u0161\u00ed pochopen\u00ed mu\u017ee stoj\u00edc\u00edho za legendou.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
