Setting the compile-command history in dotel files

[Taylor Jones]

Currently I do M-x compile, type a custom compile command, then later do M-x compile and run a different compile command. Then later I can do M-x compile M-p to cycle through the history ring of previous compile commands. What I would like to do is set this history ring upon startup though my dotel file. Is this possible? Currently all I can do is set one compile command with

(custome-set-variables '(compile-command "compile_command_1"))

I tried playing with setting compile-command to a list of strings, but couldn't get anything to work.
