Fighting Edge

After the main character is beaten and humiliated in front of his new wife and townsfolk, he sets out to cure himself of cowardice. Along the way he learns his worth and this makes a very good story. Set in the Wild West, this story does a good job of describing some of the tensions with the Indian tribe 'Utes' as well as some of the other challenges facing small cattle towns in the West.
