Hometown Oneonta & Freeman”s Journal reporter Libbi Cudmore obtained an interview with Saunders from San Francisco hours before he was due to appear on “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.”  And the author of “Tenth of December” said he began to write “Lincoln in the Bardo” in his backyard in Oneonta in 2013.
