William “Buffalo Bill” Cody, Amerikan Bat\u0131’s\u0131n\u0131n \u015fekillenmesinde merkezi bir rol oynayan, devasa bir fig\u00fcrd\u00fc. 1846’da Iowa B\u00f6lgesi’nde do\u011fan Cody, bat\u0131ya do\u011fru geni\u015fleme ve \u00e7at\u0131\u015fmalar\u0131n ya\u015fand\u0131\u011f\u0131 \u00e7alkant\u0131l\u0131 bir d\u00f6nemde b\u00fcy\u00fcd\u00fc. 11 ya\u015f\u0131ndayken, 1860’larda faaliyet g\u00f6steren efsanevi bir posta da\u011f\u0131t\u0131m hizmeti olan Pony Express i\u00e7in mesajlar ta\u015f\u0131d\u0131\u011f\u0131n\u0131 iddia etti. Ancak tarih\u00e7iler, otobiyografisindeki \u00e7eli\u015fkileri ve o s\u0131rada okulda oldu\u011funa dair kan\u0131tlar\u0131 bularak iddialar\u0131n\u0131n do\u011frulu\u011funu sorgulad\u0131lar.<\/p>\n\n
Cody’nin babas\u0131, k\u00f6leli\u011fin yay\u0131lmas\u0131na kar\u015f\u0131 sesini y\u00fckselttikten sonra 1857’de b\u0131\u00e7aklanarak \u00f6ld\u00fcr\u00fclen a\u00e7\u0131k s\u00f6zl\u00fc bir k\u00f6lelik kar\u015f\u0131t\u0131yd\u0131. Bu olay Cody \u00fczerinde derin bir etki yaratt\u0131 ve ona medeni haklara kar\u015f\u0131 derin bir sayg\u0131 a\u015f\u0131lad\u0131. Vah\u015fi Bat\u0131 g\u00f6sterisinde yerli Amerikal\u0131lara k\u00f6t\u00fc adamlar olarak yer vermesine ra\u011fmen, yaz\u0131lar\u0131 daha n\u00fcansl\u0131 bir g\u00f6r\u00fc\u015f ortaya koyuyor. Yerli Amerikal\u0131lar\u0131n beyaz yerle\u015fimcilerin i\u015fgaline direnme ve topraklar\u0131 i\u00e7in sava\u015fma hakk\u0131na inand\u0131\u011f\u0131n\u0131 d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcn\u00fcyordu.<\/p>\n\n
Gen\u00e7 bir adam olarak Cody, s\u0131n\u0131r adam\u0131 olarak \u00fcn\u00fcn\u00fc peki\u015ftiren bir dizi maceraya at\u0131ld\u0131. Kansas Pacific Demiryolu i\u00e7in bufalo avlad\u0131 ve sekiz ayl\u0131k bir s\u00fcre i\u00e7inde yakla\u015f\u0131k 4.000 bufalo \u00f6ld\u00fcrd\u00fc. Bu a\u015f\u0131r\u0131 avlanma, Amerikal\u0131 askerlerin avlanmas\u0131yla birlikte Amerikan bizonunun neredeyse yok olmas\u0131na katk\u0131da bulundu.<\/p>\n\n
1872’de Cody, “Scouts of the Plains” olarak bilinen bir grup sanat\u00e7\u0131ya kat\u0131ld\u0131. Bu deneyim, 1883’te ilk kez sahnelenen kendi Vah\u015fi Bat\u0131 g\u00f6sterisini yaratmas\u0131 i\u00e7in ona ilham verdi. G\u00f6steri, at\u0131\u015f, ip hileleri, bufalo avlar\u0131 ve Custer’\u0131n Son Direni\u015fi gibi tarihi olaylar\u0131n canland\u0131rmalar\u0131n\u0131 i\u00e7eriyordu. 30 y\u0131l\u0131 a\u015fk\u0131n bir s\u00fcredir d\u00fcnyay\u0131 dola\u015fan ve Amerikal\u0131lar\u0131n Bat\u0131’y\u0131 ve tarihini g\u00f6rme bi\u00e7imini etkileyen b\u00fcy\u00fck bir ba\u015far\u0131 haline geldi.<\/p>\n\n
Cody, kad\u0131n haklar\u0131 ve kad\u0131nlar\u0131n se\u00e7me hakk\u0131n\u0131n sesli bir destek\u00e7isiydi. Kad\u0131nlar\u0131n erkeklerle ayn\u0131 f\u0131rsatlara ve ayr\u0131cal\u0131klara sahip olmas\u0131 gerekti\u011fine inan\u0131yordu. Louisa Frederici ile olan evlili\u011fi, uzun ayr\u0131l\u0131klar ve sadakatsizlik s\u00f6ylentileriyle g\u00f6lgelendi. 1904’te Louisa’y\u0131 zehirleme giri\u015fimiyle su\u00e7layarak bo\u015fanma davas\u0131 a\u00e7t\u0131. Ensuing skandal\u0131 man\u015fetlere ta\u015f\u0131nd\u0131 ve Cody’nin ki\u015fisel hayat\u0131n\u0131n karanl\u0131k taraf\u0131n\u0131 ortaya \u00e7\u0131kard\u0131.<\/p>\n\n
G\u00f6steri d\u00fcnyas\u0131ndaki giri\u015fimlerinin yan\u0131 s\u0131ra Cody, Wyoming’de topraklara yat\u0131r\u0131m yapt\u0131 ve Shoshone Sulama projesinde rol oynad\u0131. Su haklar\u0131n\u0131 1904’te federal h\u00fck\u00fcmete devretti ve Shoshone Baraj\u0131’n\u0131n (daha sonra Buffalo Bill Baraj\u0131 olarak yeniden adland\u0131r\u0131ld\u0131) in\u015fas\u0131na ba\u015fland\u0131. 1910’da tamamlanan baraj, Amerika Birle\u015fik Devletleri’nde in\u015fa edilen ilk beton kemer barajlardan biriydi ve b\u00f6lgedeki tar\u0131m i\u00e7in \u00f6nemli bir su kayna\u011f\u0131 olmaya devam ediyor.<\/p>\n\n
Buffalo Bill Cody, 1917’de geride karma\u015f\u0131k ve kal\u0131c\u0131 bir miras b\u0131rakarak \u00f6ld\u00fc. Vah\u015fi Bat\u0131 g\u00f6sterisi, Amerikan Bat\u0131’s\u0131n\u0131 romantikle\u015ftirdi ve nesiller boyu Amerikal\u0131lar\u0131n tarihini nas\u0131l alg\u0131lad\u0131klar\u0131n\u0131 \u015fekillendirdi. Ancak ayn\u0131 zamanda yerli Amerikal\u0131lar hakk\u0131ndaki kli\u015feleri de s\u00fcrd\u00fcrd\u00fc ve bat\u0131ya do\u011fru geni\u015flemeye e\u015flik eden \u015fiddeti y\u00fcceltti. Cody’nin medeni haklara verdi\u011fi destek ve su geli\u015ftirme projelerindeki rol\u00fc, efsanenin arkas\u0131ndaki adam\u0131n daha n\u00fcansl\u0131 bir anlay\u0131\u015f\u0131n\u0131 sa\u011fl\u0131yor.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
