Josiah Gordon Scurlock
Josiah Gordon "Doc" Scurlock (born January 11, 1849 in Tallapoosa County , Alabama , † July 25, 1929 in Eastland , Texas ) was a cowboy and gunslinger in the American West in the second half of the 19th century.

Scurlock belonged to the group of " regulators " during the Lincoln County Cattle War along with Billy the Kid , Charlie Bowdre, Jose Chavez y Chavez and other gunslingers . Later he distanced himself from his previous way of life, left New Mexico and settled in Texas , where he died in 1929 at the set age.
He was played by Kiefer Sutherland in the films Young Guns (1988) and Blaze of Glory (1990) .
