Probably true, but he also could have won it without Jackson had he listened to his “Old War Horse”.

Had Jackson been in charge of his old corps, he would have taken Culp's Hill and Cemetary Hill, and the Confederates would have then dominated the position. He would have driven the men until they did it. Gettysburg was lost when Lee split Jackson's corps a month or so before the battle between Ewell and A.P. Hill - two generals who are textbook examples of the Peter Principle.

Lee was planning on reorganizing his army into three corps before Jackson died and would have followed through with his plans had Jackson lived. So we really don't know when Jackson would have arrived at Gettysburg or from which direction.
