M-x customize-variable RET
eshell-ask-to-save-history

set it to always and save it.

C-h v eshell-ask-to-save-history gave me:

*Determine if history should be automatically saved.
History is always preserved after sanely exiting an Eshell buffer.
However, when Emacs is being shut down, this variable determines
whether to prompt the user.
If set to nil, it means never ask whether history should be saved.
If set to t, always ask if any Eshell buffers are open at exit time.
If set to `always', history will always be saved, silently.

Your answer is very helpful.
After read your answer, I write the following line in my .emacs:

(setq eshell-ask-to-save-history 'always)

Now it's Ok :P

Thanks again.

M-x customize-group <RETURN> eshell-hist <RETURN>

Look for "Eshell Ask To Save History"

[Thanks.  It never quite bugged me enough to look up how to make it
stop. :-) ]

Same here.  However, seeing (setq eshell-ask-to-save-history 'always)
in my .emacs I think it means to always ask.  That's kind of
confusing :-)
