Elliot, yours is a rather simple example of a John Krider half-stock percussion rifle perhaps from the late 1860's. Some of his more elaborate, heavy rifles can fetch $5000 to $50,000 (exquisite patch boxes, tang sights, adjustable front signts, lots of engraving). I'd guess yours at about $2000± - I'm no real expert on Kriders, so if there is something special about it, it could be more.
