    The below site contains logs from the USS Constitution as well as journals from crew members that give you an individual perspective of engagements. As David M said these type of documents are where you might find the details of individual engagements.

    There are links to archival material from the museum collection as well.

    Lots of stuff if you really want to get into the weeds of the War of 1812!

    I found a nice volume on privateers and privateering in the archives that does have some descriptions of engagements. (can't find the link atm).

    Thanks for the heads up Eric.

    The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.
