Okay, we are tasked with adding 4859 and 1026. Let's begin!

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 6 in column 1 and get 15.
We'll write down the last digit 5 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 2 in column 2 and get 8.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 0 in column 3 and get 8.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 1 in column 4 and get 5.

So, 4859 + 1026 = 5885.
