Leonard McCoy as Tom McLaury
Thomas McLaury (30 June 1853 - 26 October 1881) was a human male who lived in the 19th century. He was most famous for his membership in a gang of cowboys who became involved in a gun battle down the street from the O.K. Corral on 26 October 1881. Their adversaries were Wyatt Earp, Morgan Earp, Virgil Earp and John Holliday, arguably all members of a rival gang. Both sides were endorsed by local branches of law enforcement. McLaury, his brother Frank and Billy Clanton were all killed in the gunfight.
In 2268, Tom McLaury's identity was imposed upon Leonard McCoy in a bizarre and rather inaccurate recreation of the shootout created by the Melkotians. (TOS episode: "Spectre of the Gun", TOS novelization: The Last Gunfight)
