THE SCENT OF HISTORY
A True-ish Quest of Forgotten American History
by Derek Parsons

Bold. Hilarious. Uncomfortable. True-ish.

The Scent of History isn’t just a story — it’s a mirror.
Set in 1619 aboard a Dutch ship full of lost men, Derek Parsons turns the birth of American identity into a wild, unforgettable ride through the absurd and the profound. When a desperate man named JoJo tries to sell hope — and hygiene — to six hundred doomed passengers using nothing but a filthy rag and faith, he accidentally invents more than a miracle: he invents a metaphor for America itself.

Told with biting humor and brutal honesty, this story bridges past and present — from the ship’s chaos to a modern museum where a smooth-talking historian rewrites the truth for public display.
It’s dark, it’s funny, and it’s painfully human — a story about how we survive, how we remember, and how even our cleanest moments are born from the dirt.

The Scent of History dares to say what others won’t:
that the past doesn’t just haunt us — it sells itself back to us, polished, perfumed, and forgotten.
