"Simon Butler (Indian Trails, vol. II)" is a lithograph by French artist Jean-François Millet, created in 1852. The dramatic scene depicts a Native American man being dragged by his horse through the woods, with two other figures firing weapons at him from the distance. Millet's depiction of this scene is characteristic of his interest in depicting the struggles of the working class, with this work highlighting the perils faced by those on the American frontier in the 19th century. The lithograph is on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, NY.
