4th Arkansas Infantry Regiment (Union)
The 4th Regiment Arkansas Volunteer Infantry (Union) (1863–1865) was an infantry regiment that served in the Union Army during the American Civil War. Although Arkansas joined the Confederate States of America in 1861, not all of its citizens supported secession. Arkansas formed some 48 infantry regiments to serve in the Confederate Army, but also formed another 11 regiments that served in the Union Army.〔Report of the adjutant general of Arkansas, for the period of the late rebellion, and to November 1, 1866.

==Organization==
On the 4th day of October, 1863, authority was given by the commanding general department of the Missouri to Edward J. Brooks, of Fayetteville, Arkansas, to raise a regiment of infantry in this State to be called the 4th Arkansas infantry volunteers, he being appointed provisional colonel of the regiment, with his principal rendezvous at Fayetteville, and branch rendezvous at Fort Smith and such other places in western Arkansas as he might select. The difficulties encountered in recruiting for this regiment, and its services in the Old, are detailed in a communication to this office from Ira D. Bronson, formerly captain company A, dated Hickory, Illinois, September 18, 1865. From which the following extracts are made: "On the 10th of December, 1863, Captain H. S. Greeno, 6th Kansas cavalry, was detailed on recruiting service for the 4th Arkansas infantry, and placed in charge of the recruiting office at Fort Smith. Other recruiting offices were established in western Arkansas, but owing to the fact that the 2d Arkansas infantry was in process of formation, and had nearly exclusive control of recruiting for infantry, and also that the 2d, 3d and 4th Arkansas cavalry, and the 2d Kansas cavalry, were recruiting in the State, and a large portion of those who were disposed to enlist preferred the cavalry arm of the service, recruiting for the 4th Arkansas infantry was very slow and tedious. "About the middle of March, 1864; I had fifty men recruited and stationed at Fort Smith; Lieutenant Hunter had the same number at Fayetteville - other recruiting officers had a number each, making in all about one hundred and eighty men. Brave and efficient recruiting officers were continually within the rebel lines, and many men were in this way picked up.〔
