Representative Thomas Montague Gunter

Thomas Montague Gunter (born September 18, 1826) was a Democratic member of the United States House of Representatives from Arkansas. He represented Arkansas’s 4th Congressional District and served as a federal legislator during the post–Civil War and Reconstruction-era aftermath. Gunter’s tenure in Congress began on December 1, 1873, and concluded on March 3, 1883, spanning a full decade of service.

During this period, Gunter served five terms in the U.S. House of Representatives as a Representative from Arkansas. His congressional career was defined by his role as a Democratic lawmaker at a time when Arkansas and the broader South were undergoing political, social, and economic realignment. Although specific committee assignments and legislative initiatives are not recorded in the available metadata, his decade-long service indicates sustained support from his constituents in the 4th District.

Gunter left office as a former member of Congress after March 3, 1883. No additional details about his activities outside of his congressional service, his personal life, or his professional work beyond politics are provided in the existing record.
